anyone ever heard of a blessing in disguise?

in a jack neo film about gambling, he described the fortune God (cai shen) as being able to come in any form. he might come in the form of your friend, he might come in the form of your neighbour, or even as your friendly neighbourhood carpark attendant.

thing is, you'll never know when he will appear. but when he does, you better hope you are able to pick up on the numbers he gives you (4D)

of course. i do not believe in the fortune God. though i believe that my God is the god of fortune among many other things.

but the idea is there.

a blessing in disguise.

looking back, some of the most blessed blessings (if i may) have been those that come in the form of something seemingly nasty, or something that i wouldnt normally consider a blessing.

i think we all do, if we take the time to think a little.

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love

She's slippy
Your're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel

(on your knees boy)
She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Lift my days, light up my nights
One day you will look...back
And you'll see...where
You were held...how
By this love...while
You could stand...there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights

U2 - mysterious ways.
