My four leaf clover

Someone once said to me that the only certain thing in life is that nothing is certain; that the key to living a happy life is to leave every norm and expectation behind, to sway back and forth in the aether of life like a blade of grass in the wind.
I am trying to do that, despite the absurdity of it all. Of late we are bordered by an ominous conflagration- you've probably seen it if you've looked at CNN recently. It is not threatening to burn us down, but it is closing all the nearby roads. Perhaps more devastating is the fact that half our planning team is asleep in bed with pneumonia; we wish him a safe and speedy recovery. There are other problems: equipment failures, broken locks, and the like, all threatening to shut us down. It seems improbable if not impossible, except for the fact that we are all here living it.
Yet somehow, I think I'm ok with it. Not that I or anyone else on the team has given up, more that each of us is psyched up for everything to work despite all the setbacks. I think that's my four leaf clover: at the end of the ride, it's going to be one hell of a story.

Iceman - I so appreciate your attitude and humor. You are a very good storyteller. If the saying that "you can't think your way into right living you have to live your way into right thinking" is true you are living a very good life because you are a very good thinker. Maybe that's a little metaphysical but I think you get the point. Good luck!
good luck guys! i've enjoyed following your adventure : )
