A Mirage

Daisies
Berthe Morisot


Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit" - yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."   - James 4:13-15


The myth of safety. The enchantment of security. It simply doesn't exist. What matters is how you cope with the 'intention' lying in that every direction you turn there are unknowns and things beyond your control, that you're to live and act in ignorance and in uncertainty about the outcome of your actions.
