Will?
WILL
Rabbi?
ELIE
Didn't see you at High Holiday service.
WILL
Yeh, high holidays, the amateur hour. You know me, I like to come when no one is there and sit near the musicians and just sing. Not one for winding things up on one or two days or whatever. Anyway, you know Rabbi, no matter how much i run around looking for something i lost or i thought i lost or thought i needed or whatever...
ELIE
Well, that's a bit broad Will, but I'm with you...
WILL
Well, anyway the answers come to you when you slow down and let them come.
ELIE
OK, good...
WILL
Well like this morning, I know I have to pick up my daughter at 2:00, and that I will be leaving at the last possible minute because I am really busy right now, and so I want to make sure I have my iPhone, iPad, Money, wallet, shades, keys, reading glasses...
ELIE
Yes Will.
WILL
So I can't find my sunglasses and I am running around my house looking for them, and everywhere I go there is something else I need to do that I had forgotten and so I finish that, organize, move on. Finally, half the morning has gone by and I stop to, well, I had to pee.
ELIE
Nice to take time for that once in awhile...
WILL
So I unbutton my jeans and as I am looking down I see the sun glasses I have been looking for all morning hanging around my neck.
ELIE (SMILING)
That's really funny, Will.
WILL
Tell me. And then I have this clarity of thought. The answers always come to me when I stop trying to find them.
ELIE
So Will?
WILL
Yes, Rabbi.
ELIE
You had something you wanted to talk about.
WILL
Yah, it started at the convention, I guess.
ELIE
So...
WILL
But wait, there's another one.
ELIE
Willl?
WILL
Well, like today I was running around like crazy setting up for this session. And I need my Duct tape. I am looking all over for it, finding a million other things to do along the way. Finally, I give up and start to call my assistant to tell her to pick some up on her way in and I look at my feet and there it is on the floor.
ELIE
Will?
WILL
Yes Rabbi.
ELIE
Didn't you have something you wanted to talk about?
today i learned that willheim is crazier than what he actualy aparents, also, he writes funny stuff.
This is still a funny and insightful story, though. I like how you see a life lesson in the strangest places.
Today I learned a very important lesson from Willheim. Whenever you can't find something, just look down.
Your faithful student,
