Confluence of Opportunities

The ocean is vast. Out in the deeper water, away from currents, reefs and places where life converges in abundance, there is often nothing. The fish are few and far between, and at least in my imagination, they are frightening. Where there are no little fishes, there are no big fish to devour them. This is precisely the image of how I've felt about exciting job opportunities in the past two years. Aside from the distractions, there has been almost nothing that intrigued me. Today, there are a handful of interesting possibilities. Is this coincidence or is there some fateful, anti-chaos theory which explains this confluence of opportunities? Of course the things that catch my eye will also catch the eyes of others, competing predators to resume the metaphor of fish in the deep blue sea, chasing rare prey. I expect something to come of them this time, and fairly soon. This will mark the end of this time of transition. We will enter into another orbit, if and when it does.
