- Twists of fate (obviously these work both ways)
- Love in all its insincere, fitful, joyous, painful and – ultimately, hopefully – genuine, unadulterated incarnations

- The weather
- The planets (anything can be blamed on planetary influences)
- I myself
- Constraints ... basically anything: taxes, traffic rules, work, the need to have dough ... anything that restricts freedom ... thank God for some of these

Apologies for taking so long to respond to you - I've been either slammed with work, away, or dealing with a very sick dog most of the summer.
