Hello world. The following was written 8/31/2018.
Disconnected though I may be from my family I still love them deeply. When something happens to them I care. Around midnight last night I received a call from my Mom that my cousin had just been killed. Been bawling my eyes out all day. In an instant those we care about can be taken from this reality leaving a gaping hole in their wake. In an instant those we love are gone and all we are left with is empty arms and memories that have to last us a lifetime. I am recognizing how deeply I am feeling my own mortality and the mortality of those I love. How quickly our lives can be changed forever in an instant.
Take a moment to appreciate those around you. Take a moment to simply love one another. For you may not get another chance to do so. In an instant that chance may be taken from you forever. Stop holding back and start loving openly and freely. You only get this moment, this opportunity to love them unconditionally.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
