The other day I pulled out a rather obtrusive nose hair. This was not an ordinary nose hair, for this particular nose hair was the single most important cellular structure on my entire body. This particular nose hair was the very essence of my entire being. As soon as I jerked it out, my soul fell apart. Pain beyond that of even the worst toe cramp immediately shot through every fiber of my body. Tears began streaming down my face. I started sneezing uncontrollably over and over. Involuntary shudders caused my arms and hands to quake. My knees began to buckle and I grasped at the sink for support. I saw the brilliant light of sweet release coming closer and closer. The angelic voices of Heaven's host sang sweetly their beckoning song of welcome.
I had found my foundation; my cornerstone. And then ripped it carelessly from the caverns of my nostril.
I should have just braided it in with the rest of them.
