You cannot tell what one is going to do in advance; you just have to wait and allow things to happen naturally. If people always knew what was going to happen next in life, we would not have mysteries, and nothing would be able to surprise us, especially when we do not expect it.

The Hound
Life the hound
Equivocal
Comes at a bound
Either to rend me
Or to befriend me.
I cannot tell
The hound's intent
Till he has sprung
At my bare hand
With teeth or tongue.
Meanwhile I stand
And wait the event.
