We live in a matrix of unpredictability, your fate randomized at best by numbers shouted out by a bingo caller. B for birth marks, qualities and defects. I for inherent or sudden health issues. N for near death experiences altering your life. G for grand events that bring you happiness. O for obituaries and the inevitability of death. We can't take anything for granted. We draw straws and just accept that life is a gift ~ come what may. AP: Honorable Mention 2025
