breathing

As I drove south last night on the interstate, the sunset took my breath away. Brilliant orange fading to purple & the trees & the mountains silhouetted black in the foreground. It lasted longer than I expected it to - maybe 10 minutes. Beautiful.

I was driving away from a funeral. Of a beautiful five-year old boy who was buried high on a hill in a crowded cemetery. Cancer took his breath away. Or maybe it was God... I'm not sure who to blame.
