Theological Interpretations of Grocery Store Parking Lots

Whitney says, "Then I recovered enough to establish ma'at, and we came home, and I can nearly breathe again which would be nice."
Tesla [oneironaut] says, "How'd you establish ma'at?"
Whitney says, "The shopping carts were out of order and pointing in all weird directions, including one that was wedged sideways in the cart return. I aligned them correctly, including that one (which was furthest down), before adding our cart to the row. Thereby establishing order and restoring a communal social system to smooth functionality (especially since getting that last cart was gonna be a pain in the /ass/ for the cart-fetcher, it was all ice down there)."
Tesla cackles.
Tesla says, "Best excuse for OCD EVER."
Whitney says, "Isn't it delightfully so? ;)"
Tesla says, "You win theology!"
Whitney giggles and wheezes a lot. C'mon, lungs, stay with me.

There are thoughts; there may be writing about thoughts later.

In thing-going-around-LJ stuff, here's my first sentences of each month of last year. It gives the illusion of productivity, doesn't it?

I have wordcounts for some of the time I was away. Gaboing, gaboing. I have actual wordcount. This entry would go under Jade's icon if she had one. I like my brother. Tesla [oneironaut] says, "WE SHIP SOFTWARES TO UR DOORSTEP seemed sick started determined" My baby's getting big. 890 words. So, how about that new Airport stop on the blue line of the T? 1444 words today, which seems to end chapter 5. I really needed that ritual. I'm listening to Depeche Mode and it's all lstone's fault.

Establishing ma'at

I love it! I definitely find spiritual value in leaving things better than I found them, in however small a way.

The shopping carts thing is something that I seem to have latched onto as "small thing I can do to make the world better".

This was what I meant to include in the last comment and it fell out of my head -- I also think it's important-to-me to find illustrations of theological concepts that are entirely grounded in the everyday, just's so's it's practical, not stuff that exists entirely in abstract space.

Wait, how is it my fault?

Can you recall what you were doing on 1 December that would lead to me needing to listen to "Personal Jesus"?

[lstone.livejournal.com]

Basically, no.

Ah! I remember! It was the character whose sekrit superpower was the animated crucifix!
