"Chance is a nickname of Providence."
(Nicolas Chamfort)
There are times when what we call chance can, in hindsight, feel like something more.

An unexpected pause that creates space for a new direction.

"Life itself suggests a higher good than life itself can yield."
(Edwin Hubbell Chapin)

"Out among the big things
The heights that gleam afar
A feller gets to wonder,
What means each distant star;
He may not get an answer,
But somehow, every night
He feels, among the big things,
That everything's all right."
(Arthur Chapman)

"Temptation cannot exist without the concurrence of inclination and opportunity." (Edwin Hubbell Chapin)
Temptation isn’t always about big moral dilemmas.
It can be the pull to overwork, to avoid a conversation, to scroll instead of rest, to reach for certainty instead of curiosity.

"It is not always sorrow that opens the fountains of the eyes." (Marie de Rabutin-Chantal)
