Timing Is Everything
The old adage “timing is everything” is true, which is probably why it has endured. Occasionally, an unlikely intersection of people, places, and circumstances conjures unexpected good fortune—the joy and magic of the human experience. It doesn’t happen often, but on rare occasions, timing is perfect. With equal force and numinosity, the same kind of arbitrary temporal collision can end in tragedy when the fates align with exact synchronicity and, against all odds, produce a perfect storm. This doesn’t happen often either, but on rare occasions, timing is perfect.
