It is so interesting to ponder why things happen as they do and if there is indeed an order to it all in the end. Thank you for sharing this!

Shell, I love your writing style and your choice of mellifluous words to paint the feelings and thoughts that you choose to provide for your reader. It is my view that the essence of this piece links well to my post of last week, I Do Not Know Enough To Be In Charge. As you well stated, we cannot know the purpose of what will come of our observations when we see friends, family, and, even strangers, suffer. Or, when we suffer. You, too, plant epiphany seeds.

Thanks, Benn, for always finding connections—”epiphany seeds” is a wonderful metaphor.
