The Edge

Somedays I reflect on people that survive impossible situations. They fall out of airplanes with only a broken arm, they walk away from car crashes, fires, and explosions. I marvel at the resiliency of life, and the abundance of second chances. Other days .. less optimistic I guess .. I'm saddened by those that are lost to things mundane, or dangers not so apparent. And for a moment I think my life has been safe and uneventful, progressing mostly without event, and then I consider the uncountable number of ways my life could have gone horribly wrong (and could still). So many checks I had written with bad choices, and so much the balance that has expired uncollected. You think the Devil actually shows up with a contract? You think you will be able to laugh in his face and walk away the victor? Not so easy as all that.
