Random Chance

Sometimes things aren't always transparent and life has a funny way of taking you in directions you'd rather not go..... now I could say its fate or destiny but I'm not sure that would cover everything that happens in life well enough.... but rather appears as a mere cop out or a hindsight explanation.

Would things turn out differently if we knew what was in store?... and even if you feel you are standing at a crossroad in your life and look down into the possibilities each path promises..... do you really have a choice?

I'm beginning to suspect that it doesnt really matter much about the journey nor the paths that presents before us. As T.S.Elliot wrote:

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

Maybe the route and those we encounter are simply a means to an end.... and that all we are really seeking is some better awareness or insight into ourselves. If this is true then any sense of connection or attraction to someone else isnt as important or earth shattering as we might be lead to believe. Is love simply a motivation to keep going? A cruel twist of human nature that cannot be overridden nor stemmed...

Each day a spider spins a completely new web as I've watched and photographed their daily toiling, it brought me to wonder if humans are no different - but cant see it cos they are blinded by fancy notions and dreams.

Supposing that there is nothing more than the illusion that there is more?... Where does that leave all our hopes, dreams, wants, desires and beliefs?
