as if it were a riddle

We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It’s just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn’t have expected.”

    I gotta think about this one – thank you so much for sharing! I must say, my dreams changed dramatically from childhood to my teenage years, then changed once again in college and have changed again in adulthood. Wanting to be read is a strange place for me: never thought I’d be writing, honestly.
