I am feeling
my mortality. I have had a great ride,
but the motor on my bike is skipping a beat.
The wind is in my face and I know I am headed for the cliff, but I can’t
turn back.

Life is
nothing but happenstance: two people happen to be at the same place at the same
time and decide to have sex. One of a
million sperm happens to penetrate one of thirty possible eggs at just the
right time resulting in a pregnancy that is brought to term.
So here we
are. It is all chance. A cross word, a previous appointment, a
blowjob, or a condom could have altered our existence.
Life is chaos: a butterfly flaps its wings in
South America causing a hurricane in the Atlantic.
Could there be a thousand different
me in a thousand different parallel universes living a thousand different
lives? I find that as plausible as
heaven and hell.

The fact that everything is chaos and chance makes our existence even more miraculous, doesn't it! Enjoy it while we're here!
