Yes  
It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could you know. That's why we wake
and look out - no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.

     We are living in an age of constant Armageddon. There are daily threats to our health ( such as the Ebola virus), threats to our security, threats to our families, and threats in our schools.  How can we survive this seemingly endless attack to our well-being?
      By choosing someone with a strong heart, by listening for that loud heartbeat, perhaps we can look out on everyday for love and salvation. "Nobody knows how loud the heart gets."

 In the movie Avatar, one of the characters,  named Neytiri rescues Jake by saying: "You have a strong heart. No fear. "  That's what it takes today to survive. That's why Neytiri chooses to save Jake who is about to be devoured by a creature. We cannot be a society that lives in fear. We need more romances like Jake Sully and Neytiri.
