We like the idea of knowing.  It gives us a sense of safety and satisfaction.  We all think we would be better off if we knew how things were going to turn out.  Or would we?  Our brains are focused on survival.  Survival means that certain things are in place for us to exist. I used to think things were only worth doing if I knew how they were going to turn out.  If I could map out the destiny for myself and those involved to determine that it all would be okay, then I could take a risk.  Needless to say, this leads to a very small space of existence.  Even with all kinds of planning and preparation there are always going to be elements of the unexpected and unknown.  We are wired for kismet but not the kind we think.  Our brains imagine kismet where everything is clearly laid out.  The irony is that we don’t survive.  At least we do not survive in one form forever.  I can’t speak to what happens when we leave our human bodies.  Our existence on this earth has an expiration and as far as I can tell, no one has gotten our alive. The energy in our hearts can connect us to a deeper sense of kismet that is not reliant upon physical measurement.  We recognize fate when it appears. We call out destiny in hindsight.  The kismet of our hearts is very clear.  It is about growing in love.  It is about opening ourselves up to a relationship with the core truth of who we are.  The kismet of our hearts will take us to a place of peace our brains may never know.  The willingness to connect to the kismet of our hearts is the capacity to sit in the space of the unknown and hold out the hope of what is possible.  Hold out the hope of what is possible in the world destined to love.  God invites us to dance in the kismet of our hearts by connecting to our breath and expanding our heart space to allow the truth of who we are to surface.  We get that chance every time we take a breath.  Even when we miss an opportunity to partake in the kismet of our hearts there is another one just after this exhale.
