Sometimes things have a way of moving in on us. They appear in various ways, and it's not always clear to us what their motivations or goals might be. Whether it's a mouse, a string of insects, or a visit from the building inspector, we will always find times in our lives when we are face-to-face with the unannounced and unexpected visitor. How we deal with these surprises can show us a new side of ourselves and can also be a factor in determining how we evolve into the people we become.
