We’ve all had things happen that left us pondering: wow, that was strange or what a coincidence. Brief events that leave you doing a little double take because of their timing or strangely coincidental nature. They often leave me asking — wow, what were the odds of that happening?
This week I had four fluke-ish events [...]

Chapter 1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

There was some secret in the moment
of that turning—when he has one thing,
became another—
that I return to again & again.
The day she stopped being

Leave the Beaten Track

time you do, you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
-Alexander Graham Bell
