“I Don’t Have All The Answers”

Once I was walking on the boardwalk in a quiet beach community, and there were a couple people on the boards – one being an old grizzled guy, on an old grizzled bike, kind of riding back and forth, occasionally saying hello to somebody.

I stopped by a pole to stretch my leg, and must have been looking down at what I was doing, and I guess to a casual observer, it looked like I was sad about something, and as he rode by, he said in this sort of quiet, consoling way, “Hey pal, I don’t have all the answers.”

In that moment, I wasn’t looking for any answers, but it was nice to know that the universe decided to send me this message.

It did make me realize that in life, in general, we can sometimes have problems there are no answers to, and hearing it from that mysterious messenger right at that moment actually felt pretty good.
