serious


somedays you walk around with lots of why questions in your mind. i do not know if you are like me in that regard. but i sure am a thinker. i never seem to be able to switch the damn thing off. that is this brain of mine. now i am not claiming to be a brain box or nerd. i just think. a lot. so when things happen around me i ask why. naturally. when a friend and his wife passes away in a car accident leaving behind a child and family. or if people even closer than that to you go through a similar experience. so close that you feel the hair on your back stand up. too close for comfort. i can not help but ask why. some ask why not. i guess it is all the same. second chances. they do not come that often. so take it when it comes. if you have faith i guess it is an easier question to answer. seeing that there is one that knows all. and i am lucky to know him. especially in a time like this. i feel sad for those that do not. some might say i am being melo dramatic. but this is serious. i feel left empty after a series of things happening that is out of the ordinary. things you only read about or see on tv. stories people tell. things that you thought will never come and knock on your door. big things. small things. things after all. and it makes me take stock of where i am and why i am there. part of the big plan i guess. tomorrow morning i will get up and my life will go on. but i made a decision that things will be different.

That is a beautiful, emotive photograph. Who took it? It really hit me when i saw it, and the dialogue with it. Reminds me of something really painful; my brother who died. But, that's not necesarily a bad thing, to be reminded of someone that you love.
