The Forces of Zen

Time to give up the ghost, throw in the towel
  You'll never find the girl of your dreams
The very next day is precisely when
  She appears, cued by the forces of Zen

You've looked for years for that special position
   So you're certain 'it ain't meant to be'
Just when you stop checking Indeed and Linked-in
   You get a call about that job req* from your twin            

When we finally decide to let go of the reins
   ~ We see they were actually chains

That's right. 'I finally gave up' are the words that have started so many successful pursuits. :) gw
