Probability is everywhere, and you don't need to be a mathematician or a physicist to recognize it . I don't know how it works, but believing that nothing is random makes it come alive. The thing about probability is that it always seems to be where we least expect it.
One of the ways in which I have grown to recognize this natural phenomena occur is from someone who lived in my home long ago. Although he is no longer living he still finds a way to make his existence known.
Being an editor and a literary genius are at the top of the list of many admirable accomplishments he succeeded at in his lifetime. It's beyond my comprehension why he in so many ways has contributed to helping my well being.
One of the ways in which he lets his presence known is through the mail. I've learned that it's an expected value that I can bet on. So when I received a catalog today of writing classes that you can order on CD or DVD from different professors throughout the country addressed in his name, I couldn't help but laugh.
