Something Profound

Well, dear readers, if I am out-of-pocket the next few days I hope my excuse is valid. I lost a very dear friend this weekend. I am still sorting through the emotions, and the shock has only just worn off in the past few hours. Every hour brings a new emotion, a renewed sense of sadness and loss, and a glimpse of the profundity of this event. I know that something is happening in my soul right now that will impact me forever. I don't know what it is yet, but that's part of the ante when you agree to let life guide you.

My thoughts are with my friend's family, and I pray that they feel a sense of peace and serenity despite their loss. Maureen was a beautiful woman and I am more grateful than I can say that she was my friend and that I was hers. A great fire has gone out.
