Hiatus

Well, the events in the Nation have left me without motivation for doing a "Blog Lite" piece for several days. For posterity, I am talking about the shooting of a Congresswoman from Arizona and many others, six of whom died.  I think it should have the effect of subduing talk, and encouraging thought, including intospection.  I have been doing that as the events unfold. It has made me realize even more that life is is like a play where we don't know who the actors will be in the next scene...we just have to wait and see.  People we never knew or heard of become front and center in our thoughts for a time.  We have the luxury of sympathizing, empathizing...but then being able to move  fairly easily on to what comes next in our own lives...while so many lives will have changed in ways most profound. I guess we could call that "Grief Lite"...I think the important thing is to decide if an event like this should call you to do something different in your own life....a little move away from something  in our current lives or toward something else in our lives that may need fine tuning... Only you and I can answer that for ourselves.
