On the ephemeral nature of life.

Expressing the fragility and ephemeral nature of life, I show you a photo of the beautiful white flower shown in the blog yesterday. This is two days later.
On a more pleasant note: I think of Dick Deboer every time I watch one of the lifeguard shows on the electric TV. Dick is the angel from heaven who stabilized my neck until the ambulance arrived after my incident. I felt fine and would have just gone about my business if Dick had not been there. Every time I look at the x-ray image of my neck, as received I get shaken to the bone. Another few degrees of twist or a few mm lateral movement would have left me a paraplegic or at worst...dead. Thank you , Dick.
Dick is proof that we're all on this flight together.
