We are organic creatures, designed to fight for life, to fight for survival.
Sometimes we fight to survive by exercising, learning to fight, or eating a healthy diet.
Sometimes none of that matters.
Sometimes life ends quickly, and with no warning.
A wonderful family friend is in the hospital, in dire condition, the result of a tragic accident. He lived life large. He travelled and married and loved and adopted children. He survived heart surgery last year, and recently survived a close call overseas.
And after all of those adventures and close calls, he is in a hospital as a result of a motorcycle accident.
A life well-lived, but unexpectedly cut short.
Though we do our best to live well, and preserve our lives, the truth is we cannot know where our life's journey is taking us. We do not know really know how it will end, though we might try to imagine, and prevent, untimely events.
In the end, only God knows what awaits any of us.
All we can do is live life well, now.
