Many men believe that no life is determined in advance, that all stories are essentially a chain of coincidences. And yet, even those who believe this come to the conclusion, when they look back, that events they once took for chance were really inevitable.

I like this a lot and tend to share that view.

I try so hard not to get sucked in by dogma of any kind, or believe in that which can't be proven in a lab, but when I look back on my life, it's all been a beautifully choreographed danced that leapt with grace over so many hurdles. The stretch was painful at the time, but looking back I can see the performance and the necessity of each step taken.

hmmmmm... not sure I agree.. I sometimes wonder though what would my life look like if I had taken this road instead of that road.. or turned left instead of right.. I'm being simple here, but you get my drift..

I think we have choice in life and what we chose determines our fate.. somewhat.. but also we are born into certain places, economic stations, with predisposed characteristics.. I don't know...

Just wanted to pop in and say HI and hope all is well with you
