Good to go Green

Nothing is certain..
There are no guarantees
Luck is complete fiction...a nickname for karma
There is only time and chance.

Family and friends... love..
Life is too short... time is not endless..
one day...we will pass on..

It's the meantime we gotta make the most of..
Not a day goes by that a simple choice can't change your life
Realization and understanding for what is of true value
All of our conquests

It may have been a year ago... the date is irrelevant
I remember it so clearly...
A Beaver night like any other... girl party show down...
It all happened so swiftly... as if foreshadowing the need to wait
Divine Intervention couldn't even explain
two small moments..was all it took to change..

Arriving to drop off destination..
A light is needed...
Nine second delay...
exit as usual.. continue to next destination

Approach intersection.. realizing I'm speeding
{SINCE WHEN DO I STOP N THINK OF COPS??}
From 80 to 65
Quickly approaching my good to go green light...
As the road's white line reaches my plate
I look up just in time to see,
A red bullet that just JUST missed me..

I look to my right as he continued to fly...
Wait, Hold on...REWIND...
DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!?!?!

My heart stopped... My chest tightened.
I had to stop moving.. if only for a moment..
Thought..wept...thought some more..
Needed to recollect...

I Made a call.

My dear friend, I thank you. Unknowingly you just saved my life..

To describe the sudden awareness...the closeness and potential of our two cars colliding...the fact that it would have been my side at 200 an hour...through his red light...through my good to go green..

Fate, guardian angel, divine intervention... higher purpose...whichever for whatever..
Like a force field, I was protected.. Spared even..
I am forever grateful.

Inspired and aware
life shouldn't be taken for granted.

If it feels wrong.. there's a reason
If it feels right.. there's a reason
Understand things happen for with purpose...
Embrace your choices...we all have them.

Action leads to consequence
Consequence leads to comprehension
Comprehension leads to appreciation.

The 23rd year of my life has brought great change...
I do believe that this event played a role.

Face the inevitable..one day we will all pass..
so let's try to enjoy it while it lasts.
