We the living

Dear friends (and others)

I have been a bit low on the blog-front for the past few days. I couldn't really find the inspiration to write anything, nor did I find it appropriate, after I was told of some extremely sad and shocking news on Tuesday. I will not relay any details here, other than to say that a dear friend departed us recently, someone loved and respected by many. One wonders what is the meaning of life if it has to end before properly starting. I guess the meaning has to be found in the moment, rather than in some distant future. It is what we do right now, our passions, and the relationships we have with people right now, that gives meaning to our lives. It is easy to forget this. Not that this is much of a consolation to anyone right now. I guess all one can do, is cling to one's memories, they after all, will never loose their meaning.

Good night
