Mine is the gym. It's open 24 hours a day, but it exists for me between 5:25 and 6:10 am. Running Man, Doug, Jonathan, Cookie, one or both of the Chatty Cathies, and Lynn are people I expect to see when I walk in.
Just a bit later and its like they dropped off the face of the earth. A couple weeks ago I missed my morning window and came in after work. Other than one of the trainers who helped me when I first joined, they were all new to me. None of them knew me.
In the morning I feel comfortable. I know the routine and can be confident about using the equipment without interference. Show up out of sequence, and it is a whole new world. The gym might look familiar, but it was a whole different galaxy than mine. Weird.
Life is like that at both the micro and macro level. Our lives and our homes are seen through our own glasses; put on another pair and the view changes. Do Doug Cookie, Lynn, and the Running Man notice when I'm gone or does life go on as if I never breathed?
You are right if you think this may be a bit deep. Life isn't the Truman Show with a cast of extras ready to spring into action when we walk on set each day - but it is interesting to contemplate.
The question is... where is your universe?
