We mistake opportunity for divine favor.

We do not recognize the blind luck

That befalls us all on occasion. 

Inevitable coronation

that was anything but

though hardly anyone

could see

the room for chance

and circumstance

Change / Chance

The difference between 
change and chance
is slim at best.

More Life

We dare
to begin again

despite experience
to dissuade us

we are foolish but
hopeful

hopeful
but aware

aware
but willing

to try it all
once more
