How is it events happen, move you, move masss, and yet life continues on at some point, maybe a memory, a fading thought, you might ask youself, what was that persons name, the one you wept for even though u never met, someone you would never have known existed had it not been for the tragedy that befell them?

And what makes one person demise more of an impact over anothers? The circumstane, the event, what was lost, or what never was?

I sit here and ponder my own past, and events, very recenlty, this past weekend actually. A few times a year we gather, same time same place, and we allow with reckless abandon certain events to unfold, all within our control, but we showed none, as we usually do, and as usually happens, no serious injuries, and we joke, and say 'sooner or later, if we dont slow down, someone will get killed', and next year we will return, with the same reckless abandon of the past, until someone is just that, a memory in the past. i've had my experience, with inches to spare for my own life, and the next day, the same recklessness nearly rips my leg in two. Why so stupid? back again the next year, doing the same.


The world cant come to an end at the tragic loss of one, but maybe it really should just stop for a moment, long enough for everyone to take notice.
