Fate
Changed plans. Sickness. The ER, ICU—not to play, but to bring in a loved one. Just when you think you control your week, you are not-so-gently reminded that life doesn’t work that way. The only thing you can do is to breathe in and to breathe out. And then jump into action.
”How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.” — Karl Wilhelm von Humboldt, German diplomat and philosopher
”To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” — Helen Keller
”I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses ... I have been versed in the reasonings of men, but Fate is stronger than anything I have known.” — Euripides
Whatever meets you today, make it work.
Enjoy your day!

We face our mortality every day we do our special work. Nothing brings it home more than when it becomes personal. It is no longer a distance away.
my mortality is front and center now that a close
relative is in ICU. Fate. Breathe. Reflect. Pray.
Bargain. Breathe. At some point in our lives, we can all relate to this.
