I was relatively young when I started using the expression “Random!” when things outside the ordinary would occur.  Certainly within the definition of the word it was an easy catch phrase to indicate that whatever I was experiencing was something that defied any rational explanation. I like things that make sense.  I like for their to be an answer to the question, especially a right answer.  It makes me feel safe. As a mixture of maturity and sobriety I have come to understand that so many things defy rational explanation.  I am in acceptance most of the time that not everything is going to make sense and there is not going to be a right answer. Some things are just random.  It reminds me to embrace the mystery of life, be surprised by life, and just relax.  As long as I know where my true safety lies, I can be open to the randomness.  Designs are unsymmetrical, certain paths are crooked, and there are all kinds of pattern which do not match.  As I build and strengthen my relationship with God, I am willing to open myself to the beauty of randomness, of the other, of the outside the box perception.  The openness allows my eyes to shift and see it may not be random at all.  Maybe it is all as it is supposed to be. Life would be very boring if there were no randomness.  We would laugh less, have less to inquire about, and become shut in by our expectations of order. We would default to only relying on our intellect because it would have the answer to everything.  Sounds kind of bland and lifeless.
