Killer Whales

I don't care HOW trained I am, or how many years I've been working with Killer Whales. . . . . I think I'd be a little leary to get anywhere near such a massive animal - one that's been known to take lives before.

It's things like this that remind me of the frailty of our human existence.  One day we're here, one day we're not.  One day our loved ones are here, one day they're not.  One day what we think and feel is "true" we find out maybe it is not.  One day we come to realize things we see in our own future maybe are mearly "a dream" and not reality.

Life is precious.  It changes every day whether you are ready or not.  Whether you hold on tightly and pray for "no change", or whether you welcome change with open arms. . . . .change is inevitable.  And the scary thing about change, and life in general, is that it's not really all about "YOU".  What you want, your needs and desires, your thoughts and feelings, what makes you happy and whole. . . . none of this matters when a giant Killer Whale grabs your pony tail and pulls you under.

Life isn't about us.  All we can do is live it to our best ability and hope for another day. . . . .a better day.
