Fasting and Feasting

So today I read about how life does not conform to our expectations. In my everyday life, I refer to this as not seeing the sailboat. To make a long story short, in the movie Mallrats (which is a pretty raunchy movie, but it makes me laugh, don't judge) Wilhem stares at this magic eye all day without seeing it. As people pass by they stop for a moment and go, "WOW! A Sailboat!!!" which just irritates the crap out of Wilhem. Eventually in the end Wilhem does see the sailboat! However, we never see this. So to go back to life not conforming to our expectations, it talks about us not basically getting our way and we always end up with the response that we do not like the outcome. We all have days when we don't see the sailboat, and those days suck. However, if we were to ALWAYS see the sailboat, life would get boring and that would suck too. To tie in the title of this reflection, I can look to the days of not seeing the sailboat as my 'fasting days' when things don't go right, and when things do go right and I see the sailboat, those are my days to feast. In the end, they kinda balance out. Some of each, not one more than the other. I guess to appreciate each one you have to have the other. And that's my two cents.
