to define is to limit.It’s been a weird week. I got word that someone in my distant family, a wonderful woman I have only a couple very short but very fond memories with from my childhood, lost her battle with cancer. But for someone I wasn’t all that close to, the loss really shook me. The idea that someone can be there one moment and gone the next is really something I can’t fully grasp and leaves a deep ache in my heart and lump in my throat. I don’t quite know what to do with that. I had honestly taken for granted all the stories of survival and thought —desensitively — that I was watching another amazing survival story, from over on the perimeter.

The fragility of life is a reality almost too big to bear. I just want to squeeze the people I love tight, to never lose them, to know them fully. And to realize that so many other preoccupations I busy myself with ultimately don’t matter all that much. What matters is love and life and taking advantage of every second of both that we get.
