Fortune

My daughter leaves Zen Shorts out each night for her dolls to read.

One of the parables retold is about fortune. This moment's fortune may be the future's misfortune; this moment's misfortune may be tomorrow's gift.

Yesterday we came within an inch of life shattering tragedy. There was an unlucky accident born of special needs adolescence.

Unlucky?

The cost was small compared to what might have been. Lives have changed, judgments have been revised. Yesterday's future is gone, today's future is new.

Lucky?

You never know.
