ACCIDENT

From the Latin,

“ad”  - meaning “to” or “towards” -

and “cadere” “to fall”, to “happen.”

Jack and Jill just happened

to climb that hill that day

to fetch a pail of water ….

Mom and dad fell in love.

They were in the right

place at the right time.

Or Jackson and Gillian

were in the wrong

place at the wrong time….

The driver in the other car

just happened to pull out at that moment….

Accidents?

They happen.

How does all this work?

Is God in the mix of every moment?

Or does God clap and cry just like us?
