Any Case
It could have happened, it had to happen, it happened earlier, later, closer, farther away
It happened, but not to you
You survived because you were first, you survived because you were last,
Because alone, because the others, because on the left, because on the right, because it was raining, because it was sunny, because a shadow fell
Luckily there was a forest, luckily there were no trees
Luckily a rail, a hook, a beam, a break, a frame, a turn, an inch, a second
Luckily a straw was floating on the water
Thanks to, thus, in spite of, and yet,
What would have happened if a hand, a leg, one step, a hair away
So you are here, straight from that moment, still suspended
The net smash was tight
But you through that mesh, I can't stop wondering at it,
Can't be silent about it
Listen! how quickly your heart is beating in me
-Polish poem, from Julie Orringer's The Invisible Bridge

and... Neurons explained! Listen to the interview with neurologist Dean Buonomano HERE
