Just a moment

Its funny I was sitting on the bow of my boat yesterday evening talking to someone about fate. Timing. Small decisions you make that somehow change or mould the rest of your existence and sometimes you know youre making them and other times you don't
When I woke up this morning it was pouring with rain. So much rain and so hard it appears to have challenged a few of the older buildings in the small town where we are based right now. I'll tell you the truth, I was trying to sneak in to my apartment without being spotted. I was wearing the same clothes that I was in when I had the fate conversation, which turned out to be a longer conversation than originally planned, with some one who does happen to believe in it and also rolls an amazing joint. But I digress. I openned the door to the communal hallway and heard voices, voices I didnt want to hear as they belonged to the very people I was trying to sneak past. After an anagonising moment of deciding whether to hide in the corner near the well (its an old building, yes we do actually have a well) or slip out the door again into the pouring rain I went  for the door. It turns out that moment may have saved my life. As I put the key in the door for the second time this morning an enormous piece of concrete came crashing down and covered the very spot I was walking on  5 seconds before.  It was just a moment, and I'm aware of  it, but my question is this. How many moments do we take in life that we arent aware of,  moments they may have changed the course of our life and yet we will never know. Avoiding and accident, seeing an old friend, meeting someone new, all things that if we had left a moment sooner or later may not have happened. I guess we'll never know, so I've just decided to put it all down to Fate.
