Step outside of yourself.
Step outside of your routines, your safe circle of friends.
Step outside of your memories, beliefs and prejudices.

Awaken to a fresh perspective on the world,
A more visceral sense of its ebb and flow,
A new view of its entangled web.

Where are you? Who are you?
Examine your life as art, judge as for a crime.
And into your verdict pierce a pivot,
Auspicating a diasporal pilgrimage
Towards the re-introduction of fortune,
Spontaneity, serendipity and surprise.

Rebel against Lady Luck’s long-laid path,
Sedate her inexorable chain reactions
And embark instead upon personal ventures.
Live a life where every moment is
More than just a precursor for the next.

And in crushing your expectations,
Welcome the unexpected.
