 It could happen any time, tornado, earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen. Or sunshine, love, salvation. It could you know. That's why we wake and look out - no guarantees in this life. But some bonuses, like morning, like right now, like noon, like evening.

It will astonish you how wide your heart will open in welcome for the joy that finds you so ready and still so unprepared.
