A Gamble

Life and living isn't ever a certainty.

It is a gamble, a risk, a leap of faith.

It is a matter of trust. A matter of love.

When I first saw you at that poetry reading in November 2002, I knew I had to make it count. I knew it was an answered prayer. I knew that importance of living in the moment to the fullest and of pursuing the dreams. I knew I had found the one for real this time, and that cosmic connection intuitively told me that there was a grand design to everything, and I leapt.

To say that everything happens for a reason has meaning for me in my mature age.

To say that every day is another step to be taken one at a time, and to trust and reach out in faith, is something I have to learn time and time again and remind myself before circumstances remind me by consequence.

I know joys never known before my faith, by the peace that I found in the moment next to you, my wife, and in the bigger you inside of each of us, the Messiah that sacrificed out of love to make us able to be forgiven for every little mistake that we make along the way.

I wish you all a peaceful Lenten season. Hear from you soon.
