in the stars

Are things really meant to be?
Is there some sort of map in the stars
that none of us can really see?
What people call fate, serendipity–
can it all truly be our destiny?
Does everything happen for a reason
or do they happen simply to happen,
without an agenda, fully hidden?
Are our choices really our own?
Or were they somehow predetermined?
And if they aren’t, then what is free will?

will you do it?

Do or do not.
There is no try.
Or so Yoda says.
It’s not enough to try.
You have to do.
Try is an excuse to fail.
Do is an affirmative action.
It may not be easy
but to just try isn’t enough.
Do it. All the way.
If you do not, you do not.
If someone else does,
it is not you.
And if someone else does not,
neither do you.
Guess who it’s all up to?
So it is your choice–
will you do?
will you not?
