"Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky."
~ Rumi ~
It's impossible to know in advance how things will feel,
Or be.
We think we know.
We are sure that this or that will make us happy,
Or bored,
Or satisfied,
Or satiated.
Or serene.
But we're usually wrong.
It's exactly that which we can't possibly anticipate that happens,
The turn of events that spins us in psychological circles
And leaves us breathless,
Or remorseful, or
stunned.
I stay awake for the unexpected.
