Seven more more days ... An' I'll be waitin' at the station ... Well it has been a long week. New year, big changes!
But today I learned that I've lost an aunt. And soon my gf's mom is likely to pass away. I know how precious life is ... I know it better than most people. It hurts; it is frightening.
I have my faith, I have my friends and I realize just how big the "ripples" of any single life are as we pass through the universe.
I have seen many people this week and watched the various ways that they are coping with their own crisis ... And I have felt a profound empathy as each has intersected along my path. I have watched the gentle and caring staff as they tended to the patients ... I do not envy them that burden. I admire them, but I don't envy them.
