I must admit, there have been a few things that have happened to me that have felt like destiny. Don't know why, though.

What a ...That's an interesting question, Marty. What a terrific aphorism! The only real control we have is our own actions. The only real guarantee in life is this moment, right now. To believe that we have ultimate power over our lives is to assume that we also control everything and everyone around us; that's why egoism leads to failed expectations and tremendous disappointments. You can fool yourself into thinking you have it all, then walk out your front door, and be hit by a Mack truck. Life is a humbling experience. Mines' been full of surprises, a weird mix of carefree joy and abandon, carnal pleasure, soaring spirits, personal triumphs, mind-blowing insights, as well as times of exquisite pain, despair, and sadness, with lots of calmer moments in between. For now, I'm just enjoying the ride.<br />Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519113151629385676.post-2376526781131881652012-11-22T04:23:35.517-08:002012-11-22T04:23:35.517-08:00I've had a few twists and turns that felt too ...I've had a few twists and turns that felt too strange to be random. When friends would ask, "what are the chances?" I'd say "apparently 100%... because it happened." But whether Chance or Destiny, I am grateful for the strangeness.
