Sometimes, it happens the way I planned it, and I feel satisfied and proud, but fate is strange. I don't understand it - a mystery inside a shroud. My most joyful moments heaven sent were only happy accidents. New films and songs, and rendezvous, they happen all the time, bringing unexpected news, experiences sublime. It's not a word you must lament - call it a happy accident. Chance meetings, lovers, friends, and creative inspiration, gloriously transcend plans of my own creation. My most treasured moments, heaven sent were only happy accidents.
