Best made plans
are never truly planned,
merely imagination applied
in a disorder of events,
taking us to tea parties
and hidden places,
relationships unknown,
and even the journey to self.
The best made plans are
never made,
they are,
the fruit of frustration.

One of my favorite reflections is if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans 🤣

Yes, one of my fave sayings too, along with Lennon’s “Life’s what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”

Two things I’ve taken to heart: If you want to make God smile, tell God your plans; and, Lennon’s observation, “Life’s what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” Story of my life really.

This is soooooo true.
Best is not to have a fixed plan or over expect anything. Let us enjoy the moment as it comes.

Perhaps I’m reading this differently from others. The notion of a curved ball that comes one’s way is what resonates.
