in the amusement park of life we don’t take the rides, the rides take us

fate
Berkeley sidewalk
munching on french fries –
grizzled crow
being present, being here now, is not a choice or an act of will, but an outcome in living best characterized as a gift
looking forward into the stream of living,
I see hopes, dreams, plans, expectations;
looking back, it’s all the luck of the drift
I no longer ask God to give me a different fate;
after all, for whom does S/he grant such appeals?
(with thanks to Czeslaw Milosz)
none of us is spared the exactness of a fate
