Time

I'm still reeling with shock that a man was murdered yesterday in a road rage incident not far from my house. There's so much that's horrific about this and I'm struck by how people's lives can change in an instant. The family and friends of the man. Those who saw it take place. The 4 young people in the car whose life trajectory will now be shaped by what happened.
I can think of several life altering moments in my own life, usually unexpected telephone calls with unhappy news. Yet I know life is more than this, we are more than the out of the blue changes, that the daily small interactions shape us too.
For me this has felt like an incredibly long week. Time is weird isn't it. I guess we can make the most of it however it feels.
