You have a good stretch. You have a bad stretch. That’s the experience. It will not be flat, straight, without hiccups, accidents, or fear. However, you must remember that it is happening. That you have the opportunity to have the good and the bad and navigate the ups and downs.

Some don’t have that.

You do.

You are awake and conscious—at least on some level—and you’re here going through all of this with me. With us. We’re in it together. It may not have been our choice—the unexpected arrival here into a place both beautiful and cruel—but since we’re here let’s make the best of it. We don’t have the answers, and it’s debatable if answers are ever to be found. There are plenty of questions though. Lots to learn. So, let’s just get up, get at it, and enjoy all of this for what it is—a shared existence.

Just one simple moment in time.
