I don’t know that, but here’s what I do: 100 words for my 100th post

We peer at our lives through spectacles -
illuminating certain facets while tuning others out.
Some moments struck with highlights of love,
some engulfed in shadows of hate.

Life.
Wheel of fortune.
Game of chance.

A confetti storm swirling madly about.

So we grasp at the scraps hoping to tuck one away,
only to find that the speck was a snowflake that has quietly melted.

Some days I wonder what is beyond this glittery globe.
I don’t know that, but here’s what I do:

What a strange miracle to be alive.
What a miraculous coincidence to share this lifetime with you.
