Winston Churchill said, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.” Here’s what I stumbled over today:

I was reading a short story by Sherwood Smith this afternoon and came across the line, “I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.” It happened to be in the context of parental doubts, but that hardly matters. Occasionally I read something that just seems to resonate with truth. This did for me and my mind was on a million tangents instantly.

Who am I? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

Why am I here? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

Where am I going? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

Should I…? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

What’s right? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

What difference does it make? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon.

Hey, babe. Ya wanna? — I get a different answer at midnight than I do at noon. No, wait. That answer is always the same….
