Our own kingdom

We are convinced that we control many things around us. But the truth is that this is completely unrealistic.

We make plans for a week from now. We schedule a coffee with a friend for next month, or even for tomorrow. But will it really happen?

We have the will and the desire for things to happen in our favor. It's one of the oldest and most primal functions we have. Hope. We always hope for the best, or at least for our hopes not to be denied.

But there may come a day when something doesn't happen, not because we don't want it to, but because something gets in the way and prevents, for one reason or another, an event from taking place.

When we think that the kingdom, our kingdom, is calmer, sometimes we are approached by a sensation, or by an event that puts our convictions, and even our determinations, to the test.

We don't think the worst. It's a fact. We think it could happen, but we don't want it to be present in our minds.

Are we prisoners of this realm of ours? Of our reality? Do we, in the our skull-sized realm, have the confidence and determination to go beyond what the future might bring?

Thank you for reading my shortest reflection for today!

Cheers🍀
