Quote of the Day

“I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being – to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.”

Farewell to a Beggar

We lost one of our own today.  I am starting to get really, really incredibly pissed off at this death thing.  It sucks any way you look at it.  If you know the person is nearing the end (whether it’s because of age or cancer or whatever) it sucks.  If you don’t know, because the person is young and reasonably healthy and there’s no reason to suspect anything is amiss, it sucks.  I was in the latter camp today, blindsided by it.
