Periodically, things happen. The specifics depend upon whom they are happening to. Regardless, it can be understood as the union of two sets – that which is expected, and that which is not.

The expected is best met with preparation – practice makes perfect, when a thing can be practiced.

The unexpected requires something else – it asks of us a certain height. To achieve what we can, and to go beyond it, even – especially – imperfectly.
