Black Spots - the weeping child

(WEDNESDAY - 19:33)

One night, on the grave where his body lay quiet and rested, Old Man Joseph's soul usually sat in silent isolation.

"Why would you pick earth over heaven?" God asked.

"Well sir, I like heaven very much... it's just that there are too many souls here now and it's getting a bit crowded..." Old Man Joseph replied.

"Too crowded?... But, heaven is infinite... How can it be too crowded for you?..."

"Well sir,... sharing it with a lot of souls is quite alright because they don't nearly consume enough space to fill a dot in heaven, but... Well sir,... I was thinking it maybe alright for me, but how about you?..."

"How about me?.." God asked bewildered...

"well sir,... is infinite space enough for an infinite being?..." Joseph replied... "It seems to me like heaven is just a perfect fit for you... and I'm grateful that you invited me here and all, but I feel like I invading your personal space..."

"hahaha... Joseph, Joseph, Joseph... you are indeed a character..."

God insisted that Old Man Joseph stay in heaven by His side but in the end He let the old man decide what he really wanted to do. Joseph looked down and thought "What have I got to lose?... My life?" so Joseph returned earth to watch the world run in its frantic pace, enjoying every moment and cherishing every scene....
