Before big there was small, before small there was somenthing, and before something there was nothing, but before nothing...

there was a possibility of anything.


What is the best moment in the following situations...

At a baseball game your team is up, the ball is hit. Its up, up, going... ball drops on the field...base hit.

You are at a craps table, you have the dice in your hand, you shake them and let them go... they land and you win.

You stand there, nervous looking at him/her. The moment is awkward but you close your eyes and lean in...as your lips come in contact with theirs you breath a sigh of relief.

Not sure? Well look at it like this. All three situations have moments when life can go either way. Completely wrong...or in your favor. That moment is the best moment in all three situations. It creates a high of hope, dreams, wishes come true. Or...reality just gets another chance to slap you in the face, again. But, all day long reality slaps us silly. It is only in these brief moments that we escape life and dreams can come true. Once we actually get what we want reality starts up all over again with a whole new set of ways to slap us around. Next batter up grounds into a double, you double down and lose it all, the kiss was no good.

So, maybe it dosen't all go wrong, but it can. We can continue to experience these "perfect" moments by taking chances. Everyonce in awhile these moments feel like forever. So never stop taking risks. Live for the moments. The high is there, but be prepared to be slapped about like a ragdoll.
