"The tides of time can throw absolutely anything up on the shore of your life. It is amazing how successfully we repress the recognition of our total vulnerability. We have learned to forget that any moment can bring an abrupt and irreversible change of destiny. As you are reading this, there are people who woke up happy this morning and are now receiving news that will utterly change their lives."John O'Donohue. Eternal Echoes. London: Bantam, 1998. 217-8.
tonight my thoughts are with chris, who is very ill in hospital, and with his family, as they try to let this news permeate, and with us, in this recognition of our vulnerability.
may The One Who Is simply be.
