- My future depends on me!
- Is that so? Then, from now on, Life’s Movement is in your hands: make sure the sun is always willing to shine, give your heart a good reason to beat; coax the trees into giving up their green for your air clean, spin the earth for a light-less sleep, and then some.

You think Life will consult you before expressing Herself? Or even worse! that you can change Its course?

- But I can accomplish what I want!
- As luck would have it, you are as fleeting as your accomplishments. So go ahead! satiate your appetite for success, it is well known that your walk is driven by the form.

- Still, I am free to choose the life I live!
- Who chose your existence? Can you choose your tomorrows? Did you choose this world?

The possibilities of your freedom are less than those of a caged bird. Yet not all is bad! You can always move from here to there choosing the thoughts that fill your voids.

- Don’t I create my own reality?
- Mystery is the closest you’ll ever be to reality.
Do you wish to know the reality of your “free will”?

- Please!
- A fluke of the universe hoping to matter much.
