This "...fundamental unknown...", this
"...uncertainty, chance, and luck..." by these I place
a moment called the present moment, that's a reason I
practice staying alert. What is happening even right
now this moment is perplexing enough that I really
don't find it proper enough to put 'it' into words
thinking I've just called 'it' or realize what 'it'
is. I can't staticly identify 'what's happening' to
the fullest.
