Chance - Monday's Warm Cocoa 5 August 2024

 


“I love to have a little more chance in my life.” – Jewel Mlnarik

Chance

Sometimes when walking the same floor, a well-known floor, it can feel suddenly worn, sort of as if it doesn’t fit anymore. It can lead to feeling unsettled, almost as if that familiar floor has somehow moved. You can’t figure out how it moved, without you noticing, because of the frequency with which you walk it. Yet, you sense it’s time for a change; to get a new floor to walk on. And, change can be a tortuous decision. Such anguish often leads to loneliness and a feeling of isolation, as well as to the discovery of chances.

“I love to have a little more chance in my life,” Jewel Mlnarik said while sitting in a spontaneous circle of virtual strangers. It was a statement of such situational relevance that it seemed to bore deep into my ear and it began to shrill inside my head, as if simulating the song of cicada descending from trees. And, it was a harmony spoken by Ben Clayton, founder of Double Jump Media.

“You know,” he said, “You’re only one text away from another introduction.” While looking around the enclosing circle of Joshua Dover, Jewel Mlnarik, Ben Clayton and me. It was a welcome invitation because of the shared experience of the seated, recent floor-replacing quartette.

Jewel had newly left her life of familiarity, creating a new place for change in a new state. Ben had moved his business and life from Missouri to walk the new floors he felt calling. And Joshua had just initiated his dreamt-of-chance to start a new business, using his well-honed technology skills. These changes had colluded to form an imperceptible runway toward a spur-of-the-moment circle, after participating in a much larger gathering.

Jewel’s predictive, “I love to have a little more chance in my life,” was the moment’s narrative.

A narrative showing that when walking a new floor with strangers, it can feel suddenly inspiring, sort of as if chance is welcoming disparate pieces to fit together, forming a new picture puzzle. It can feel as if a magically-shifting floor is moving people together by chance. You can’t figure out how it moved without you noticing, while perceiving the painting of a new portrait. That’s because of natural apprehension while walking on an unfamiliar surface. Yet, you somehow know the path is welcoming transformation; while introducing new friends to walk with. It can all feel quite miraculous. 

Such wonder often leads to additional impetus, excitement and feelings of camaraderie, all realized by accepting an invitation to have a little more chance in your life.
