“…it is impossible to foretell the future with any degree of accuracy, that it is impossible to rehearse life.”
This post is inspired by this quote from A Room with a View by E. M. Forster—a book I finished reading a few days ago.
There’s an interesting irony woven naturally into the story. It’s about life, reminding us that it isn’t a script to be read, memorised, or rehearsed. Instead, it flows and surprises us in unexpected ways.
Strange, how others, unintenionally, play a role in paving our path to happiness without being a part of it.
Strange, how those who wish us ill end up helping us grow and live better lives.
Strange, how annoying, boring delays save lives.
Strange, how the rush—that nagging impulse—is just an urgent call to fulfil something before it’s too late.
And isn’t it strange how we make plans, rehearse good speeches, feel things under control…, and then life surprises us in the most miraculous ways.
Isn’t that just life?
Isn’t that why God reminds us: it’s temporary?
With hope and peace,
Nahla
