Fate

“While realizing ten years ago I didn’t have the faintest idea I would end up where I now am, I still like to keep up the illusion that I am in control of my own life.” -Henri J.M. Nouwen

California, Arizona, Utah (Wyoming), even Nevada. My mind was racing this morning on my walk. Where will I end up in five years? Where should I be? What does it means to be alone? What do I lose/gain to have my wife and daughter with me? To have my mom live with me? To be a good employee? I didn’t have the faintest idea four months ago I would be in Arizona. Funny, I think I can figure out where I will be five years from now. It is a distraction more than a plan.
