Fate or Luck?

Tuesday night ramblings...

We live in a world reduced

A world in which our pursuits of knowledge have forgotten

the mystery by which they were seduced

Our methods today are often initiated

with an intention to complete an understanding

of something that existence has created

But there are no complete understandings

for existence is infinite in every direction

and there is more to be explored from all new landings

then can ever be comprehended when anything is not regarded as a section

A section of an infinite whole

but a whole nonetheless

A whole that is an endless sea of eternal soul

If all was cause and effect

we'd always be able to figure out what's next

We'd be able to calculate the future

with equations and extrapolations along a linear suture

But we can never account for everything

because there is always something random

Always something unexpected and exciting

so most predictions we must abandon

And yet the random that could destroy us

within any perspectival sliver of a moment

somehow chooses not to and thus

we begin to learn to trust

that an apocalyptic meteor will not onto our surface be thrust

Luck and fate

can cause

love and hate

but they are both random

or at least unpredictable

and they both can teach us

to exist in tandem

None of this means life should be left to chance

It simply says that life should be a dance

Not a static existence in some predetermined stance

So we may learn to play with our time

and in this way see that the random is divine
