Luck

Life is all about luck, is it not? Intricate chain reactions we have no control over. We can try to observe them, predict the movements and collisions. Crouch down, as a runner about to sprint. Be ready for the right moment.

3,2,1, Run!

Bang!

And you get hit by a truck. Unheard and unseen, swooping in from the side. Violently thrown to the ground. You fight to get back up. Get in position again. Observe and get ready for the right moment. Bruised but still believing. Ready.

Now!

And you don't even get going, as you step in your shoe lace, and trip. Face first into the dirt. You lie there. Still. All the while the chain reaction just keep rolling on. Once again missing the moment.

Those damn shoes... Maybe if I just buy a pair with velcro?
