My daddy used to say
some people go on a journey
while others are taken.
Some are taken right here, right now
while others wait patiently.
People know they are Pretending
and all they can do is pretend.
They are searching for agony
but they don’t know it yet.
They get so confused
going to this place
and that
and not really getting anywhere—
They want love
but all they manage
to do
is to get in and out
of relationships.
Maybe a dating app
will help
them
to find it?
It’s missing
because they don’t know what it is.
There are a thousand lessons
waiting to be learned.
We must wait patiently
to know them.
We read them
and don’t understand them.
We search for them
and don’t find them.
We have to be still…
Eventually,
fate will find our hiding place.

I’m glad that you thought so, Paula Light! Sorry for the late response. Life is crazy, then I write it down.

I stopped forcing too much. I control what I can control but fate does whatever it can.

Yes, fate is strange. Sometimes, I feel like I have control, and at other times, I just have to hang-on for the ride.

Hanging onto a very fast part of the rollercoaster that keeps going down quickly and backwards into a long, dark abyss. Some times it’s easy to chillax and just ride, other times it’s just terrifying and you wonder when it’s gonna stop. Some days it’s like being in cars with other people. No telling when it’s gonna be bad but there’s some level of control and a false sense of security.☺️

Yes, the idea that we have control, is the illusion.
