Life Happens While You Are Making Other Plans

About to start my stretching routine before breakfast the other day, I glanced out my living room window and noticed a woman across the street, hands folded across her chest, staring at something.  A moment or two later, noticing she was still there, I went out onto my 3rd floor apartment’s balcony to see what she was looking at.

That’s when I saw two police cars, two fire engines and a car, flipped completely onto its side, in the middle of the street.  Moments later, I joined other walkers and joggers outside and learned that a car had careened into a parked car and flipped over.  The driver, badly injured, (and unconscious so I was told by observers) had been removed from the car and was taken away by ambulance.

Perhaps the driver had lost consciousness or something happened to the car’s steering.  I’ll probably never know.

Once again, I was reminded how precious life is, how precious every day is and how in an instant, life can change so radically.

Carpe diem.
