My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
If you anticipate the "maybes" becoming facts, you will be disappointed when they stay at the maybe level. Stay away from the pretense and accept uncertainty as part of life, and not merely an incidental part.
