- The Question -


                                          is life predestined
                                      dare you ride the destiny -
                                           trust the co-pilot

Anne-Lise, you put it very succinctly. I like how you indicate that we do have some control over our lives but we're part of something a bit larger than just ourselves. A lot of things happen that we have no control over, but that is not part of predestination. It just seems to matter who and what we happen to be dealing with at the time. We are very lucky when we have support around us that allows us to flourish. Hope you are well, and TY for making me smile. Philosophy is a wonderful subject!!

I like this. it’s short, punchy, and thought-provoking. The idea of trusting a “co-pilot” makes destiny feel personal and relatable.

You can do both at the same time, piloting while trusting the co-pilot. Life can be predestined and random, all at once. I will always give an answer to a question...maybe not the right one, but an answer none-the-less. No limits. My experience, anyway. A deep write. Got me thinking.

Oh I do I do Anne, without His love and guidance, I wouldn't know where to go. Such a lovely sentiment, and photo too. Have a blessed Sunday dear heart.

These few words ask a question that asks even more questions. I enjoy the philosophical depth in your senryu.
