Oftentimes, it seems that it's the close calls, the near misses, the catching-yourself-from-falling that drives the deepest introspection. The visceral anguish when things go wrong leaves little room for calm consideration, a carefree existence gives no impetus for thoughtfulness, But there's something about the almosts, the what-if's, the avoided disasters that can really wake you up to a greater awareness of yourself and your place in the universe.
