All things are interconnected. Everything that happens is conditioned by what has happened before. And we are all going to die. Matthew Harding's grinning, carefree face looked out at me from the front page of the paper. He was wearing a blue scarf around his neck.
Nothing stays still.
To be alive is to move, and movement can only end in death. This is just the universe doing its thing. Winning the lottery or getting hit by a bus, mostly it has nothing to do with us, or what we want. Some journeyman footballer misses a penalty and a helicopter falls out of the sky. One can never be truly comfortable or at ease in this world.
