Unexpected encounters

[tysolna]

As I was walking to work this morning, a dove fell on my head.

I'm serious.

I got off the bus, crossed the street, walked below a line of trees, and pow! Dove on my head. I think the poor thing was as surprised as I was, if not more. I suppose that when you're a bird and used to being able to fly, falling out of a tree is a tad surprising.
From my head, it fell to the pavement, shook itself, and hobbled off to hide underneath a nearby magazine rack. It didn't so much look hurt as stunned, or maybe embarrassed. I brushed off my hair - luckily, the dove was too surprised to leave a lasting mark on my hairdo - and went on my way, already being late for work.

Imagine, though. What are the chances of having a dove fall on your head? Is this some kind of omen?

It's a sign from the heavens! Of course, it's a rather cryptic sign, possibly involving Freud and the crisis in the middle east, but nevertheless, a sign!

...maybe you're the second coming... is your middle name... Brian?

The thing about signs like these is that one only understands their meaning when it's too late and things have already happened!

The second coming? Me? An Atheist? Somehow, I don`t think so... ;)
