A Quick Note & Excerpts RE: “Craic” & Destiny March 17, 2026

“Beannachti na fėile Pádraig! (Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!)” “Ramaḍān Mubarak, Blessed Ramaḍān!” to anyone observing the holy month of Ramaḍān. (Keep your eyes open!) Many blessings also to all, and especially to those celebrating and/or observing the Baháʼí 19-Day Fast, Great Lent, and/or Lent!

Peace, ease, and disarmament to all, throughout this “Season for Nonviolence” and all other seasons!

“[Malvolio, a steward for the shipwrecked twins reads] If this fall into thy hand, revolve. In my stars I am above thee, but be not afraid of greatness.  Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.”

— quoted from Act II, scene v of Twelfth Night, or What You Will by William Shakespeare

As noted before, we can make a distinction between fate and destiny — with fate being what has come before and destiny being our destination — even though people often use the two interchangeably. Still, even when we make the distinction, the two are inextricably linked; because, what has happened before this moment (fate, if you will) informs this present moment, which (in turn) leads to the future moments (destiny).

How we get from here to there, however, is its own story. And, today, is a day for stories. Some stories are sacred and divine; some are just for fun… and some can be both. It all depends on how we “revolve” it.

If you are thinking about suicide, worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, you can dial 988 (in the US) or call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You can also call this TALK line if you are struggling with addiction or involved in an abusive relationship. The Lifeline network is free, confidential, and available to all 24/7. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.

White Flag is an app, which I have not yet researched, but which may be helpful if you need peer-to-peer (non-professional) support.

If you are a young person in crisis, feeling suicidal, or in need of a safe and judgement-free place to talk, you can also click here to contact the TrevorLifeline (which is staffed 24/7 with trained counselors).
