MISSING MOMENTS

[50a bottom] Gemarah: Once a Yavam does the act of Chalitzah (refusing the marriage) to his Yevamah, there is nothing else that would take effect after it [even if he would do the marriage act of Yebum and have relations for the sake of marriage with her it would be ineffective].

D-E-ep Thoughts: When one misses out on an opportunity, he/she may never get the same chance ever again. Just as when Hashem asked Moshe to come close but he was afraid, later he asked to see Hashem but G-d refused. There are magical moments in our lives when we have to be attuned to the specialness and opportunities. May we always seize the day and make the most out of every favorable instant.
