Kismet
Coincidence
Luck
Blessing…

Today it doesn’t matter what
or why
or how
it just matters…

The people who have crossed my path at the most appropriate times
and those who will one day cross my path when I need them the most
the anonymous messages from tweeting birds
and fawns peeking out from behind the bushes
the fascinating way a historical story connects
and makes so much sense out of what is happening today
the conversation I am having about my father
just as a car passes me displaying a bumper sticker of a turtle…

Today it doesn’t matter what
or why
or how
it just matters…

…and I am grateful.
