It's so much more.

 I am not an unthinking or uncaring person. It's my truth that I feel too much, too often. This stuff about the Boston Marathon bombing is so sad, and so everywhere. And things like this bring the people of the world to a grinding halt for about a week or maybe a month.. and then for those not in Boston or truly connected, it's back to posting on facebook about what was for dinner, Monsanto and kittens. The lasting chaos for the people of Boston is yet another in a string of awful things this world is going through.

How the hell do we survive all of this madness? Where does all of this energy really get channeled? What does this mean for our future? What is the government going to do next? Is this a peek into what it's like to be in a country where bombs like this go off with the intent to do the maximum damage? How the hell do you wrap your head around any of this?

 I am choosing a peaceful mind. There is nothing I can do but be the best human I can be one day at a time. I am no peace activist. I am not political. More and more I just see us all as one. I want healing and forgiveness in my world.

All I have is this moment to go out and be great with people. And this moment. And now this one. And then another cup of coffee... and then another moment. This horrible incident coupled with my best friend Jeffrey's brother dying so suddenly is a slap in the face to remember we have today to make that difference and love the people in our world, and do the best we can. Because you never know if you get that tomorrow.
