One Chance

Perhaps the scariest feeling in the world is when you've just discovered how close you just were to death.  When you find out how easily your life could end... when you get your first taste of death and you can't forget the flavor. When you consider how easily you could die, you realize how close you might be putting yourself to the edge every day.  I feel like I've learned all my dangerous lessons as close to the edge as I could be without falling, every time.  Car accidents.  Hospital visits.  Recklessness.

Sometimes reality puts you on the fast track toward a nasty smack in the face.  We don't worry about how fragile we are until we actually find out.  And then you become aware. And you remember that you only have one chance. And everything returns to delicacy.
