One Seeker's Journey: A close call - The precariousness of life    
 A close call - The precariousness of life4 comments

Yesterday, something happened that made me once again realize just how precious life is, and how one should never take anyone or anything for granted. I got a phone call early in the morning that my wife had been in an auto accident. While both parties in the accident were OK, it could easily have been far worse.

At times like this we realize just how lucky we are to have the company of our loved ones. On some days we may find ourselves grousing about life - less appreciative than we ought to be of those who love us most. Yet at times like this we realize most of all, how in an instant those we hold dearest could be taken from us.

For better or for worse, we live at the crossroads of synchronicity. Any given moment might just end up being one of good fortune - or one of potential catastrophe. And I was again reminded yesterday just how lucky we are to be alive and loved, and what could have happened.

Although it turned out OK, this one was close. It is once again a reminder from God of just how important family and friends are in our lives.

Very happy that it was ok in the end...

i forgot to comment in your log about Gwen's accident. Now i remember I did it in the psi room. Anyway it does make life more precious each moment after such a happening.
