stumble.

Today I stumbled on the steps at my house. I nearly fell down. As I regained my balance, I wondered what would have happened if I hadn't regained my balance. First of all, I probably would have fell down. I might have hit my head and died. It led me to think of a quote. It was the opening of Dean Koontz's "The Husband".

"A man begins dying at the moment of his birth. Most people live in denial of death's patient courtship until, late in life and deep in sickness, they become aware of him sitting bedside."

But in all honestly, I didn't really think of death when I stumbled. I just thought "WHOA."
