“The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley” - Robert Burns

I have come to the firm conclusion, a little bit later in my life than Mr Burns did in his, that we really, really, REALLY, can’t know what is around the corner.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still go about our scheming and planning. But while we’re doing all of that we better be ready, waiting and willing to surf the wave that’s coming up there, right after the one just before it.

Riding those white horses. It can be exhilarating or exhausting. It can be both at once. But it can never be truly safe or predictable, however much we try to make it so.
