thinking about loss and what this means...

I'm thinking. I'm thinking about loss. about grief. about  separateness. about loneliness. all the things that makes life hard. and yet we are taught that if we try hard enough, run fast enough, eat the right foods, take nutrients, exercise, laugh, we will live a longer, a healthier life... what about young lives that are grabbed from us...in a blink... and so i wonder, what is it that we can do, right now, right this minute, to show someone, anyone, that life is alive, that it is here, that it is welcoming that it is...breath....RIP my young friend.
