hazard

welcoming chance as my friend.

to be open to possibilities that come in the door

unbidden and yet welcome,

while immersed in features of the world that are predicated on predictability.

to have the personal and professional skillset

that not only allows the possibility of chance events

but also to embrace and apply the learning

that arrives inside those events.

to be in this world but not of it.

"the kind of association that arises from meeting hazard is like making a move in a game and once that move is made, it is made, and a new situation arises. you do not think you would somehow improve the game by playing the same move over and over, yet people often think that somehow a society would be improved if it could be perpetuated or a relationship would somehow become more merely by its continuing. so long as the situation that makes the relationship right exists, it can be right; when it does not exist, it cannot be right." anthony blake
