We defy augury: there is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come - the readiness is all. "Hamlet" , V, ii, 210-212

Modern Text translation of blog title:
I thumb my nose at superstitions. God controls everything—even something as trivial as a sparrow’s death. Everything will work out as it is destined. If something is supposed to happen now, it will. If it’s supposed to happen later, it won’t happen now. What’s important is to be prepared. Since nobody knows anything about what he leaves behind, then what does it mean to leave early? Let it be.


Matthew 10:29

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside Your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than any sparrows.


Every Grain of Sand, Bob Dylan

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
