curve balls and strangeness

sometimes

and often

at just the "wrong times"

life throws you a curve
ball

the unexpected,
the strange

just what you "didn't want"

and then:

life means this:

what can I learn

what can I change
in the old habits
or responding

how much
learning,
fun,
amazement
can I get
out of this:

hey,
maybe even hit a home run
