Unexpected Expected

More From Alice James

We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. but sometimes our expectations sell us short. sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. you got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. standing. still. the expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.
Thinking Expectations Littles
It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. the tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens. when the unexpected does happen, however, and when it is of sufficiently grave import, the unfit perish. they do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of adjusting their well-grooved lives to other and strange grooves. in short, when they come to the end of their own groove, they die.
Simple Civilization Adjusting
[in the case of research director, willis r. whitney, whose style was to give talented investigators as much freedom as possible, you may define "serendipity" as] the art of profiting from unexpected occurrences. when you do things in that way you get unexpected results. then you do something else and you get unexpected results in another line, and you do that on a third line and then all of a sudden you see that one of these lines has something to do with the other. then you make a discovery that you never could have made by going on a direct road.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected?
Witty Unexpected Expecting
The pain, so unexpected and undeserved, had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. i realized i didn’t hate the cabinet door, i hated my life… my house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. it had to end, and it did. now in the dark world where i dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and i can count on nothing.
Pain Hate Dark
I'm a writer. i never expected to be recognised on the street. i never expected to get that kind of coverage, good or bad. i never expected to sell as many books as i have.

In a sense, the artwork is the most important thing in getting somebody to buy a book. the person probably won't buy a book if he doesn't like the artwork. once you buy it for the artwork, you hope that the story will also be good.

I remember that i stood on the library steps holding my books and looking for a minute at the soft hinted green in the branches against the sky and wishing, as i always did, that i could walk home across the sky instead of through the village.

I imagine the earth when i am no more: women's dresses, dewy lilacs, a song in the valley. yet the books will be there on the shelves, well born, derived from people, but also from radiance, heights.

There must be freedom for all to live, to think, to worship, no book, no avenue must be closed.
