Sree, you are being silly (and not comprehending), I’m not the one that’s hurting.  Well it did remind me (and Tim for that matter) of another instance that definitely was deeply hurting for me personally, but that was life times ago.  I did my mourning and once in a while I’ll open that little box in my heart that reminds me of how real it was, then close it up again.  Life goes on.

Xian I read your comment earlier and left it, didn’t have a worthy reply.  Since then it’s occurred to me that this whole thing was about processing the hurt of others from an empathic perspective.

You’re the one into philosophy and such, we are each the universe, because we have the same fundamental lives, same milestones, successes and failures, tragedies and all, fractals in every direction.

I was musing on the importance of place – hell this goes right back to the evolution thing of not being able to really understanding an organisms without understanding its environment.  At home I’d feel about as remote as you do.  Being here, seeing that screen full of the throng of grieving people outside and inside that arena a couple hours ago, that means some thing.  There’s more here than just a guy.  I can’t relate to the guy or his career, but I can relate to the dad that loved his children and family and community and that apparently millions around the globe loved.  It’s moving in and of itself.  It’s the human drama that fascinates and enthralls.  It’s worth spending a little time with.  Then we move on.
