From a book review...

Here's a snippet from a book review in the LA Times. I was struck by the wording:

"...a sense of how the well-ordered accommodations that too often pass for life sometimes can implode under the unimaginable weight of the unexpected."

To accommodate means:
1. To provide lodging or physical space to
2. Fit in with the wishes or needs of
3. Adapt to
(from the Latin "to fit")

What have a provided (unsuspected) lodging to?
What have I done to "fit in"?
What have I adapted to?

What things in my life am I merely working around, rather than resolving? What have I become comfortable with (that I shouldn't feel comfortable with)? And how have these accommodations become something that resembles my life, enough so that I have started to adjust to them?

That's where the unexpected comes in. We need to be caught off guard. We don't want to be caught off guard. But it's when we're tending to what we think is our life, that life takes over. Despite us. No choice, but in that moment to be reborn.
