Let today remind you that life is unpredictable, yet incredibly accurate in knowing what we need out of it. A reminder, that there is always a purpose being created and discovered. A reminder for meaning, a reminder for strength and a reminder for hope.
"Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking or keeping, if it were not. God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future. We would look about us, but with grand politeness he draws down before us an impenetrable screen of purest sky, and another behind us of purest sky. 'You will not remember,' he seems to say, 'and you will not expect.'... The art of life has a pudency, and will not be exposed. Every man is an impossibility, until he is born; every thing impossible, until we see a success. The ardors of piety agree at last with the coldest skepticism, — that nothing is of us or our works, — that all is of God. Nature will not spare us the smallest leaf of laurel. All writing comes by the grace of God, and all doing and having... The results of life are uncalculated and uncalculable. The years teach much which the days never know."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Second Series of Essays: Experience
