| [00:03.492] | The 50-Percent Theory of Life |
| [00:07.518] | I believe in the 50-percent theory. |
| [00:09.578] | Half the time things are better than normal; |
| [00:15.77] | the other half,they re worse. |
| [00:17.375] | I believe life is a pendulum swing. |
| [00:21.500] | It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, |
| [00:27.251] | and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future. |
| [00:33.627] | Let ’s benchmark the parameters:yes,I will die. |
| [00:37.750] | I ’ve dealt with the deaths of both parents, |
| [00:41.126] | a best friend,a beloved boss and cherished pets. |
| [00:42.610] | Some of these deaths have been violent,before my eyes, |
| [00:46.670] | or slow and agonizing.Bad stuff, |
| [00:49.857] | and it belongs at the bottom of the scale. |
| [00:53.546] | Then there are those high points: |
| [00:56.110] | romance and marriage to the right person; |
| [00:57.100] | having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son ’s baseball team, |
| [01:06.790] | paddling around the creek in the boat while he ’s swimming with the dogs, |
| [01:11.974] | discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, |
| [01:15.912] | his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos. |
| [01:20.225] | But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle, |
| [01:20.940] | where the bad and the good flip-flop acrobatically. |
| [01:22.822] | This is what convinces me to believe in the 50-percent theory. |
| [01:26.882] | One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood-prone that neighbors laughed. |
| [01:31.131] | I felt chagrined at the wasted effort. |
| [01:33.322] | Summer turned brutal---the worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime. |
| [01:37.381] | The air-conditioned died;the well went dry; |
| [01:39.818] | the marriage ended;the job lost;the money gone. |
| [01:42.820] | I was living lyrics from a country tune---music I loathed. |
| [01:46.72] | Only a surging Kansas City Royals team buoyed my spirits. |
| [01:48.944] | Looking back on that horrible summer, |
| [01:51.68] | I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad. |
| [01:54.696] | Worse than normal wouldn ’t last long.I am owed and savor the halcyon times. |
| [01:59.443] | The reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that can thrive. |
| [02:03.882] | The 50-percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals ’recent slump, |
| [02:08.382] | a field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest. |
| [02:13.446] | For that on blistering summer,the ground moisture was just right, |
| [02:16.945] | planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops, |
| [02:19.945] | and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods. |
| [02:23.258] | That winter my crib overflowed with corn---fat, |
| [02:23.816] | healthy three-to-a-stalk ears filled with kernels from heel to tip---while my neighbors ’ |
| [02:27.502] | fields yielded only brown,empty husks. |
| [02:29.378] | Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50-percent expectation, |
| [02:30.31] | and they probably will again in the future, |
| [02:33.594] | I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought. |
