“I think you were born for this time and place. You can call it fate or Divine Providence, but you were born for this. Sometimes I think our lives were predestined to go down a certain path. Oh, we can choose the good or the bad along the way, but ultimately, perhaps we are predestined for things beyond our control. It is not acurse, but a gift, to be embraced and used in the right way.” - Dan "Doc" Thomas, The Rushing Tide
