I Have Random Thoughts

Death comes creeping in like a silent wraith, waiting to steal you away at any given time day or night. It's the waiting that can be the most difficult, not knowing when it will happen.
Up at 2;30 AM, your heart's racing like mad, you've been rousted from peaceful slumber by a Ungodly Alarm bell that sounds throughout the bunkroom. Guys are up, donning their gear, flying out the door to the apparatus bay, grabbing helmets, mounting their rigs, slamming doors shut, hanging on as the rig races out into a dark night, but you can see the glow that looks like sunrise or sunset...it's a massive fire and you're on your way to it, and suddenly as you're still pulling on a nomex hood, snapping your turnout coat closed tightly, that sign on the refrigerator pops into your head..."Will tonight be the night!?" You're going to "Dance with the Devil". Will he take you for his permanent partner? The siren, wails its lament on your fire truck weaving through traffic, racing you to uncertainty.

We are not promised tomorrow.
@SweetMae That's very true my friend. I remember a poem I read about eternity once. Therefore one must live their lives to the fullest, cherish each day they live for tomorrow may never come.
Not to make light of this, but in our lives, well adults anyway, two things are inevitable, Death and Taxes.
@soar2newhighs Death is inevitable no matter what the age. Taxes definitely are a given in every single aspect of our lives.

That's one way to look at it.

I wonder if it is more of a companion who reminds one of the joy a fragile life offers.
@sunrisehawk There's many variables at play and yes indeed life is a very fragile and beautiful thing my friend.

So true...
We live but one life, as far as we know ? WE must MAKE the most of our precious and short time here on Earth.
☺️
@S2dio57 I concur my friend, we should live our lives to the fullest, every day is precious.☺️

so true, but i'm ready
@booboo Your faith obviously helps and the knowledge you've lived your life based on having no fear of death.
