The initial trauma to a window or a pane of glass which chips it seems insignificant at the time and often leads us to initially curse it but then quickly forget it. We get busy with our lives and other things and forget about the little nick in the glass which we can barely see, until one day the heat or cold which we spend an even smaller amount of time thinking about causes that little chip to spider web out into a large cracked surface which blocks our vision and begs to be dealt with. This little fact of life reminds me of how life works, it tends to be a lot of sitting around surrounded by flurries of excitement and movement. Things which where once new and seemed to be big problems for us to deal with get ignored or tolerated until the branch into things which are much bigger problems and turn our lives upside down. It makes one wish they had a crystal ball to gaze into that could tell them which of these small problems in life will turn into larger and uglier monsters down the road so we can deal with them now.
How often to we as humans let this little cracks in our lives turn into our own shattered existence.
