Surprise!

We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86)

Surprises linger in memory
year after year. The package
under the 1977 Christmas tree
I knew was a gag – but it wasn't.
That good rejection letter, personal,
from a BIG time editor. A phone call
from another. Serendipity soars!
That first surprise prayer answer
from God, August, 1969.
Who wouldn't want more?
