A steady parade of events visits throughout the day from different portions of my existence from youth until now and lots of in-betweens. They come on their own, I watch them and then they leave. How it all works? Who knows?

Seriously, there have been many instances in my life where I was reminded the alternative to being alive and well is not recommended.

Not really an experience where my life "flashed in front" but being at the bedside of my best friend and my mom during the final weeks, days, hours and minutes of their life certainly brought me to a place of deep contemplation of the meaningfulness of my own life.

My life didn't flash before my eyes but I did have a heart attack and flat lined and was brought back. My glimpse at the other side was extremley peaceful and pleasant. I'm still surprised I came back - my wife was there pretty much demanding that I do so. I didn't want to leave her behind.

Not recently. However, I have witnessed others behaving in such careless and predatory ways that it made the eyes of others flash red and I thought the perpetrator must be seeing their life flashing by.

Yes. Driving with a client on a two lane road. We were approaching a 90 degree left turn marked at 25 mph when we saw a semi coming out of the turn, at highway speed, IN our lane. I braked and the semi nearly jack knifed getting back in their lane. Scariest moment I've ever had.

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and have seen my life flash before my eyes more times than I care to remember. I could have lived the suburban life but wanted to experience it all and I did. My life is fulfilling but the odds of be being here at 69 years old unscathed were long.
