And then.....

something happens....
a bit of news...
something of REAL IMPORTANCE...
something riveting....calamitous actually...
And you are stunned by what you're hearing...paralyzed really....
So much so,,,,
that it SHAKES everything else into sanguine, broad-based perspective....
I mean...
life can turn on a dime...
Lets face it....
Life can turn on much less than a dime...
And what's left ??
After all of the unrest and in-fighting...
the name-calling and the rage even....
What's left after all that superfluous hoo-haa is spent ?
Just your own perspective really...
A view, by the way, which requires relative examination and introspection...
And someone that you've loved for years has been diagnosed with uterine cancer...
And all you want to do is HELP HER...But how ??
And she's FINE, by the way...
because she knows GOD...
And interestingly..
it's YOU that is devastated by the news....
But you know GOD too, right ??
And the sun continues to shine ....and winter continues to plow forward......
And that's the beginning and the end of the story...
