“Plans are made. Plans come apart. New delights or tragedies pop up in their place. And nothing human or divine will map out this life, this life has been more pain than I could have imagined. More beautiful than I could have imagined. - Kate Bowler, “Everything Happens for a Reason”
From Marcus Aurelius.
You cannot lose another life than the one you’re living now, or live another one than the one you’re losing… The present is the same for everyone; its loss is the same for everyone; and it should be clear that a brief instant is all that is lost. For you can’t lose either the past or the future; how could you lose what you don’t have? - Marcus Aurelius, “Meditiations”, Book 2:14
Heat will always move to what’s cold.
Chaos will always move to order.
Time moves forward.
