Many years ago, I departed from a situation, hunkered down in an apartment, and mapped out a plan for my life going forward. Funny things happen when one maps out a plan; the world sends all sorts of distractions to knock one from their axis or derail them. Nevertheless, I remained laser focused; I worked, read, exercised, and ignored all the cheap thrills and distraction that came available.
Months later, in December, a time of giving, someone walked into my life. With nary a moment’s compunction, I knew she was the universe’s way of throwing fortune my way. I scrapped my plan… What plan?
Indeed, I had a new imperative, a novel but sustaining paradigm upon which to embark. I didn’t change: the world around me shifted, the universe reshuffled the deck and I, a mere speck floating about an endless expanse of empirical cosmology, adapted.
