listening to the world

so yesterday me and the girl had to go shopping
we stopped by family fare, and they had a starbucks in there
so my girls mentions something about how weird their logo is, and i explain to her that the store is named after a Mr. Starbuck, first mate on the peqoud and that that weird two tailed mermaid on the logo is a depiction of the figurehead on the pequod

thats one

the next morning, there is a new teen in Church, and one of the guys asked introduced himself to him, and he literally said 'my name is Ishmael'

thats two

then the conversation turned to spiritual maturity and the Pastor posed the question "how long does God give us to mature" and this kid, Ismael says, long
so Pastor says, explain
he says, OK, God gave Jonah several chances, even after he spend three days in the whale

thats three

so clearly the world is telling me something about Melville's classic "Moby Dick"
but what?

WHAT?

WHAT?

then i finally realized it...it is not about the book, it is about the whale
moby dick himself
the white whale

so i got to ask Del...what did you buy today?
