Next 3 Minutes of Your Life

How long does it take for your life to change; to be thrown in a different direction? Can you ever anticipate it? Can you ever come to terms with it? Would it take you a week? A month? A year? How long until you can accept it? What if something happened in the next 3 minutes. In 3 minutes your life could change. In the amount of time it takes you to finish reading this, your life could change. In the amount of time it takes to get dressed or listen to your favourite song, everything could be different. In 3 minutes you could get a phone call and find out you lost someone you love. In 3 minutes someone unexpected could show up at your door. In 3 minutes you could be surprised. In 3 minutes you could be heartbroken. In 3 minutes you could make or break a promise. In 3 minutes you could be in an accident. In 3 minutes you could save a life. In 3 minutes someone could save your life. Who can possibly predict with any accuracy even 3 minutes into the future? I have come to realize that I actually know nothing. Nothing is ever concrete, nothing ever happens the way you expect it to. people are never exactly who they say they are. The future, my future, is no more solid than drifting sand and ever-changing waves. I can plan out my whole life, but it would be in vain. My plans are meaningless. And how does one find peace in constant change?
