... Avoiding

something, draws it ever near. Defending myself, can become a full time job. And worrying about things that might never happen, increases their chances of happening.
Yet still, I'm 10,000 times more likely to laugh than cry, be healthy than sick, live rich than poor, have friends than be alone.
That's the kind of momentum I've garnered through countless lives of love; that's the kind of power I long ago learned to master, and, quite frankly, those were the odds I negotiated. You're just another part of me.
