A female doctor has a near death experience
from nearly drowning to death permanently.
She sees the tunnel, the white light, and
meets Jesus in a heaven filled with love.
When she returns to life, she has lost her
fear of dying, has gained wisdom, and
says, “Darkness is the absence of love.”

In movies chimpanzees seem tame and harmless.
Gorillas, larger and more muscular, seem
dangerous and deadly.
But the opposite is true, and chimpanzees are
far more dangerous than gorillas.
Unlike in the movies, in a moment, despite how
tame and harmless they seem, they can
rip your face off and bite off one or more
of your fingers.
Gorillas, though formidable, are less likely
to attack you.

Drunk, Phil got in a bar fight with a troublemaker.
They both threw a punch at the same time.
Though the troublemaker mostly blocked Phil’s punch,
and it struck him without much force,
the troublemaker fell to the floor, died of a heartattack.
The trouble maker’s punch was blocked by Phil,
but his death sent Phil up to prison, fifteen years
for manslaughter, his job as an Accountant gone.
His wife to be no longer there for him, after a year
couldn’t wait for him, found another guy.
And sitting in his prison cell, Phil often thinks
if only … if only … if only I hadn’t punched that guy.
