Frances Mayes Quote

Like fanning through a deck of cards, my mind flashes on the thousand chances, trivial to profound, that converged to re-create this place. Any arbitrary turning along the way and I would be elsewhere; I would be different. Where did the expression a place in the sun first come from? My rational thought process cling always to the idea of free will, random event; my blood, however, streams easily along a current of fate.
