the power of the superior. 

'it wasn't meant to be'
that's a phrase we hear quite often: when your business fails, when you lose interest in a hobby, when you lose something or someone. what does 'meant' to be mean?

believing in some kind of a superior being, whether it be in the form of a god or just the large universe you're a part of, gives you a feeling of power and direction in someways, and in some ways in the short term it looks like you're being stripped of all the good things in life. i've always resorted to giving the universe a soul, or some form of an identity that's simply unfathomable by humans. why or how does it help? it doesn't necessarily have to be about helping, having a belief of your own sometimes gives you an insane amount of control over your life, although it does feel like some other force other than yourself is making decisions for you, that's not what it is. 

we are alive. life is a blessing that was born out of coincidence or maybe this was meant to be the way the world was going in anyway. maybe the birth of life and consciousness was inevitable. it's impossible to tell. 

there is some amount of relief when we believe that there is some power above us (again, i would like to highlight the fact that this doesn't necessarily have to be god) that desires the absolute best for us only. 
however, the one thing i can't help but notice is the fact that we only call up on this power when something negative happens. how often do we thank the universe for bringing this person in front of us, or for getting you where you are, it's equally important to understand that this is not a negative force. 

we live.
despite the weed,
we continue to breathe,
and provide, and take. 
our souls were birthed
out of pure stardust.
to imagine the millions of moments
that led to this, 
is nothing short of a magical experience.
