Fragile, in some ways. Just understand, at a heart function that kills people, usually in three years max, without being diagnosed or treated for 20 years... thus ignorantly of course, I handled not just this, but being in that water, for five minutes. That itself? The three men with me had fifty to sixty years of w.w. rafting between them and never saw a man come out of such undamaged. One saw a survivor, but he had to be medivac'ed. I helped paddle out. I was even underwater for 40 seconds once. Just... hold on? It's amazing what one can survive.

I am a simple man, I figure if I wake up breathing I am having a good day.

Perhaps I should rewrite it as...
life is fragile. One breath away from death.

nah. I like it the way it is.

Good to question. Though, I agree. Both literally on this one, and generally. For myself, my first is usually righter! :) Though you are the shaman of your word gravy! Ignore me at your leisure. Even I do often enough. Split personality, doubled down, leaves lots of interesting avenues open that most don't see. *wink*

Either way is perfect. We should pause and remember the thought.
