[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.
