Life Intervenes
Decisions
Like the flap of a butterflies wing
Consequences
Flowing down a hillside to the sea
Foresight
Inconclusively gazing into the mist
Life
A series of shots in the dark
The future
An unknown country
Arrived at
Through decisions made,
Consequences considered,
Foresight deployed
With life intervening.
Opher – 6.4.2021
No matter how hard we try to control our lives we are subject to the vagaries that life throws at us. The future can never be known – only guessed at.
The forces at play are beyond our control. We merely guide our raft through the rapids.
The purpose and reasons for the life we choose to live are the guiding force we apply to our paddles.
Ultimately we all reach the sea.
