Yet another death

Sunday, June 16, 2013

I hear that another colleague has fallen, that means he has died.  I’m glad I had a chance to work with him.  He worked in the same unit I worked in, but retired just before I did.  My colleague who died May 6th was also from that unit.  We all worked together. RIP.

That unit has been more than decimated.  There were 8 of us: two have died, and I have retired, and another has left. That’s more than decimation; that’s being cut in half.  I feel for the fallen and I feel for the survivors.   I know I’m using battlefield metaphors but I can’t let the armed forces command all the terms.  Each life is a battle and not a minor one.  Kyrie Eleison.

Until you change the perspective.  That’s what consciousness does.
