In an Instant

What can happen in an instant?

We make rice, cereal, coffee, and microwave dinners. We communicate by email, text, cell phone, and Twitter. We rent movies on-demand and get news as it happens from around the world. A baby comes into the world, night turns to day, flower buds open, and it begins to rain. Someone wins the lottery and a couple says "I do." We make decisions that lead to new friends, opportunities, and a better life.

In another instant, someone files for bankruptcy and another finalizes a divorce. Impulsive decisions are made leading to drug use, car accident, and heartache. The natural world creates a human crisis through flood, volcano eruption, earthquake, or tsunami.

Life as we know it can change in an instant.
