Accident or Design

Is life a nebulous but organised series of predestined events or the result of a random happenstances? Was being accosted by a large Kiwi diver/rafter/alternate lifestyle liver part of a cunning plan by destiny or was my decision to take the right a random choice? Naturally, there's the fence sitters option, perhaps our being in Interlaken at the same time was part of a larger map, but the running into each other and the flirting was totally random (well, yes, it was, but I meant the other random!).

There are so many times when things happen in your life, or rather, when people happen in your life that give you pause, make you wonder... accident or design and change the flow of your life. Sometimes good, sometimes bad and sometimes, even ugly, but always touching you, infinitesimally changing you. Sounds like destiny, but I believe we make our own. At the end of the day, it's not about what life throws at you, but how you respond to it that decides the direction of your life.... that's neither written nor indiscriminate.
