A little whisper in the dark

How many times have you cheated death?

It was three times for me.

Not once did "my life flash past my eyes", and not once did anything I could have done pulled myself out from the dire situation I had placed myself in. Variously I would have either been a car bumper ornament, in a few thousand little pieces or roadkill, in that chronological order. No, not in order of gore.

Yet, I am still, not only here, but in one piece, none the worse for my adventures, musing and mulling.

And perhaps at 3am, I wonder why I am still kicking around; sometimes I call it living on borrowed time. In a sense maybe my time isn't up yet, maybe I am meant for other things yet to come. Or maybe......what else, who knows?

It too, would be good, then, to realize that the three chances I have had, are three chances that I seek to justify being gifted with, and to make full use of.

I may not have a religion but I do believe in God, and paradoxically the more I believe in God, the less I believe in religion.
