Every word counts, every shrug, smile, every arched brow.
Every sarcasm and every act of kindness reverberates, sometimes in places and in ways that we can predict, and sometimes not. Most times, not. I arrived at my intended destination not by mistake, but by an unremitting series of mistakes, almost a perfect pattern of blunders and buffooneries, with the happy result that I am exquisitely, irreparably and quite contentedly unique, just like everybody else.
