Finding meaning in Everything?


Egocentrism can render a man prone to finding hidden meaning in anything and everything. There was a King of Spaces playing card on the ground right outside my door this morning. The appearance of a face card in a game of Blackjack always brings on that hair-raising mix of anticipation and dread... a 50-50 shot of winning, or losing miserably. It is the same in life if you are one given to reaching too far for meaning and metaphor in anything that comes your way.

I knew the card meant something but had to turn to the oracle Lord Google for the answer. So the meaning of the King of Spades:

KING OF SPADES VICTORY Triumph; physical or mental release.

Aces! (no pun intended) This could be a good day!

Unless of course the message was left for my neighbor... I won't know for sure until I walk outside and live it.
