Chancehas played such a strong role in my life, that I feel no amazement when Ireflect upon the remarkable manner in which it presided over my birth. One could say that this is everyone’sstory. But not everyone has theopportunity to tell their story.
And if everyone did, there would be no great harm in that. Each person’s experience is the treasure ofall.
