Life as a Catalyst

It occurs to me far too often how little I've managed to accomplish over decades of eating, breathing and sleeping.

And yet, an awful lot of interesting things have gone on around me.

I'd like to think that some of them would not have happened if I hadn't been in that spot at that particular moment.

There's some consolation in it.

Not easy to prove, of course, but I can make a case for it....
