finding your hot glue

so melissa and i are making this elaborate castle out of graham crackers and it's really got me thinking philosophically. i don't think that that was the assignment's original intent, but somehow it's snowballed into this result. but back to the philosophical thinking: isn't our life just like a graham cracker castle? when you start out, you think "shoot. i really could've picked a different material here. graham crackers probably aren't the sturdiest way to do this." but then you start messing with it. you experiment. you end up with hot glue. and things start looking up. this begs the obvious question: what is YOUR hot glue? what is that thing in your life that you'll find someday, after cocking your head and staring at the problem for a little while? what is that wonderful thing that will turn your whole world upside down and paint everything over with this great, metallic goodness that makes everything okay?

don't forget to look for it. keep your eyes peeled--the time when you're least expecting it will be the time when your hot glue appears before your eyes. your hot glue could be anything: a person, a dog, a pen, a stapler, a song, a religion, a website. it could even be my blog. :D but one thing's for sure: when you find it, don't let it go. :)
