How can you put the idea of luck into words? It’s like the sun rising and falling at just the right times, like having a parent who gets you a sweet jacket that you really didn’t want but now wear it constantly because it’s a pretty nice jacket.
Luck and air equal in appearance. It was there for me when I was born, when my parents understood me, when Sandy hits all of New York but my neighborhood, when my parents got me my first bike, when the car managed to not hit me, when I outrun the fitness coach who was rather angry after I spat at him when I stumbled across this guy on youtube, who encourages vegan eating. It feels like immortality, like death really does not want me, maybe life is stronger and luckier then death. It feels like I have a silent guard or guardian always tipping a domino that leads to me still breathing. No! Really it encourages the most aggressive dare devil moves like not touching the ground once in Manhattan red lights just becoming meaningless colors. Perhaps luck is the devil building me up to be more skilled and better just to shatter the thin air.
In every way luck has been there. Sure I’ve had ****** moments but they always manage to feel like a set up for something else.
There is a level of pain between death and making you stronger that simply hurts, a deep soul wound that never kills. I’ve always been a “victim” of a pain that makes stronger muscles.
Sure things have came very close. When I was three or so I was bored and cleaned the house with chemicals and was blinded for three months, a neuron or whatever sciency very small unit away from being blind in my left eye. but then luck came and I can see fine.
How many times can you get lucky, and no not in the daft punk way, without feeling something grander is saving you for something insane something pure and brilliant like creating a chain reaction that reaches space?
Or perhaps this is how prophecies get fulfilled? A mortal gets a gods luck and when the mortal mistakes them self for a god is when they learn too late of their mortality?
