My Chosen Life

I could be superstitious.

Luck could choose me.

I could gaze upon a "fortune".

I can roll as many dice as I want.

I could pray to any and every god.

I could pick up pennies, I could throw salt, I could hang up garlic entangled in a dream catcher, I could find a wishing pond and throw all of my money in it....but I won't.

I alone am my luck.  I alone am my fortune.  I am the roll of the dice.  I am the dream catcher.

I take the steps.  I live with it.  I choose my luck....I am the only one who can make it.

In bare-footed steps, I live my chosen life.
