And So It Goes Again

And so it goes again, another new day begins…

some 93,000,000 miles away from the sun,

for me some 26,000 plus rotations of the Earth

from night to day and round again. And so it

goes once again, a heartbeat farther from the

beginning, a rhythmic pulse coursing closer to

the end. Records have been set, calculations are

made. It’s a race against time, my friends. Some

believe there will be an accounting at the end.

There are those who subscribe to the news and

go with the odds-on favorite. There are those

who simply muddle through with that which

has been given them each day. Not everyone

can be awarded a blue ribbon or trophy for

first place. In my lifetime, as a child, I was the

last one out of ten to find an empty seat in a

cake walk. I won a chocolate-frosted, devil’s food

and was thrilled to death, figuratively speaking,

that is. And so it goes again. And as for today,

according to my calculations, chances are fifty

fifty, plus or minus five for error, it could go

either way.
