It is often when one least expects it that fate arrives at our door. We can't foresee it any more than We can escape it. No matter how hard We run or hide, fate, like death, will always find Us. Fate can be cruel. A minute here, a minute there, and lives can be lost. But fate also gives Us moments of impossible grace... moments in time when We come together and connect in a way that is profound... chance occurrences so precious that they almost make one believe in the divine, that there is someone out there looking after Us.

There is risk anytime We venture into the unknown, whenever We are compelled, for whatever reason to push away the safety of the familiar of family and home. And there is the notion that this impulse is, indeed, for the best, that whatever doesn’t kill Us makes Us stronger. Unless, of course, it does. Committing fully to the protection of another can often engender a kind of paradox.  In doing so, We are tempted to put ourselves at risk, the very thing most likely to cause pain in those whom We are trying so desperately to keep pain from.  Over time, however, One learns that the choices of those We love are impossible to control.
