I’ve asked this question before, but really, what are the chances the Oprah magazine would have significant words to offer me two months in a row? What are the chances that my sister would read them, cut them out, and plan to give them to me because she knew they were perfect? (Lorri: I’ve already stumbled across this month’s – yet to follow… ‘No need to take scissors to your copy. But thanks for knowing me so well.)
Well, today chance, the forces of the universe, Karma, and Providence all unite. Poignant. Provocative. Perfect.
I know
it’s hard to be reconciled
not everything is exactly
the way it ought to be
but please turn around
and step into the future
leave memories behind
enter the land of hope
Zbigniew Herbert, from A Life
