There are times when it seems the whole world is conspiring against you. A gritting of the teeth. Perhaps a small bite of the lip. You can defeat the world.

There are times when it seems the whole universe is conspiring against you. Then SodaPop the black lab sticks his nose in your face and wags his tail with delight. Not the whole universe.

There are times when it seems the cosmos are conspiring against you. You take the left turn home instead of your usual right. There on the third block, a pedestrian, in every sense of the word, makes eye contact with you through the window and smiles. You make it home and have an appetite for a cookie.

There are times when it seems God is conspiring against you.

Wait.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
