Ever make a choice that lands you

smack

in foul waters?

The best made plans…

God continues laughing.

Somewhere down the dusky road

dotted lines passing softly in the rearview

will paint an unexpected picture,

shaking disparate puzzle pieces into place,

the pieces having been siblings from creation.

Keep looking ahead,

the unfurling story behind you,

rugged with color, disturbing in greys,

fuels what is to come.

And there’s no expecting

what that may be . . .
