As someone
               who doesn't
                    believe in luck
               I find fate
          to be a
funny thing.
Some philosophize that our lives are written in the stars,
that we are to live and die by the constellations,
that the very dust of burning galaxies
that created us are also
the ones that
decide
when
we
die.
The Chinese think that we all have a peculiar piece of
string attached to our littlest finger, with
color as red as sin and as strong as steel.
That two people that are
destined
to meet will find their way to each other
like Hansel and Gretel;
and that no matter the distance,
no matter the twist and turns of their lives
no matter the strain,
the string will never break.
Some put their hope in God,
with a capital "g" -
a man who knows your thoughts
before you do.
They have faith that can
move mountains
in that their lives are written
in the palm of his hand.
Personally, I believe in Doris Day.
My faith is founded on
"Que sera, sera, whatever will be,
will be.
The future's not ours
to see.
Que sera, sera."
I believe in
a strong sense of humour,
in a "little g" god that
likes to play pranks
and is still figuring out the universe
so might as well have some fun.
I believe in the haphazard
"maybe it will, maybe it won't"
philosophy,
and that this world is
t o o  b i g
for words,
even as spoken by Plato.
I believe in here,
I believe in now,
I believe that there's a
greater good.
I believe you and I
are a part of that greater good,
and I don't always believe in I,
but I have
unwavering
faith
in you.
