I think it is quite okay to let life take you for a provocative ride into the unknown. Yes, it can be unnerving to forge ahead without certainty that you're doing the right thing. But really, as long as you live passionately, if you trust the very essence of life, of each new day, of your own capabilities and values, then it will always work out the way you need it to work out.

And quite often, the best adventures and interactions come into your life not when you are seeking them, but when you are open to them! I believe this is what attracts such enhancements in the first place! Best to just embrace them and allow them to take you somewhere phenomenal.

Besides, how maddenly mundane would our days be if we knew what was going to happen every time the long hand passed the twelve? I rather enjoy the thrill of not knowing what's going to happen next, and even though I realise that much of what's in my future is dependant on what I do today, some events take place without my involvement. I'm content to let these things just happen, with my head in the clouds, and my shoulders brushing the leaves as they dangle from their branches, as I breathe in everything that's good about life. Because that's how I choose to live.
