Lessons in Tiny Packages

Downloading the Creator comes with big lessons in tiny, if not invisible, packages. I had a car rattle that annoyed me and everyone else for months. It sounded like a screw rattling around inside the glove department or, worse yet the dash, but no one could pinpoint the problem including the car dealer. One day the rattle suddenly stopped when I reached for my water bottle sitting in the cup holder. Surprised, I released the cap and the rattle started up. Mystery solved. It was that small band attached to the cap that breaks lose when the bottle is opened. It sits unnoticed with just enough slack to rattle becoming an imperceptible irritant. Sometimes thoughts are like that.
