Expect the unexpected...



Expect the unexpected, or
it can tax your resolve
when you have to change gears
to think everything you hoped for
got cancelled
mid-way
to its fulfillment.

There was always just a small chance
that by the actions of
nature
and circumstances
and infinite variations
could have aborted every
single wish you willed into being.

We're just random forms
swimming in medium whose elements are
mostly unknown, though we have made
charts of some
and  potions of their variations.

We are variations of variations of infinite randomness
a drop of rain hitting the windshield before
other drops smudge it to a poultice.

  1. "We are just random forms." I wonder a lot about that. Perhaps not nearly so random as we think we might be.

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

  5. So much happens despite our wishes and over which we have no control other than our own response. Calls for such bravery.

  6. Yes, so heartbreakingly told, and then.......

    there is much to be said of that poultice, no?
