ACCIDENTS


AI image created by R. Kent Rasmussen
There are no accidents, all things have a deep and calculated purpose; sometimes the methods employed by Providence seem strange and incongruous, but we have only to be patient and wait for the result: then we recognize that no others would have answered the purpose, and we are rebuked and humbled.
- "The Refuge of the Derelicts" published in Fables of Man
