Landing on Your Feet

I have recently obtained a miniature panda bear figurine. For the greater portion of the day, he sits right on top of my computer screen, but sometimes when I walk into my room at the end of the day, he’s curiously sitting on my desk, standing right side up, almost as if he made it there himself. Many people would just assume that this inanimate object fell off the top of my monitor and happened to land right side up. I like to imagine otherwise. You see, my monitor has the entire computer tower built into the back of the screen, and likewise, it can get quite warm on the top of the computer. This leads me to believe that my miniature panda figure was getting way too warm and just wanted to cool down on the comfortable, room temperature desk.

I guess, in all honesty, this lifeless creature probably just fell from the top of my computer and landed upright by chance, but there is something inside me that sees a deeper meaning in this occurrence, something that was planned. For the next few days, I’m just going to leave this panda on my desk, because when it comes down to it, everything is not what it seems, and I prefer it to be that way.
