The Hamlet Project

Sure, yes, heaven sometimes seems to organize things in an orderly fashion. It sure feels like magic when things line up in extraordinary serendipity.

But serendipitous moments are pretty rare. Most of the time, our lives are pretty messy. Most of the time, the gods seem to be organizing the earth the way a teenager organizes his bedroom – that is, barely.

I picture a god just tossing an idea in a corner when he’s done with it and being surprised when he discovers it again buried under a t-shirt.
