Mourning and Mortality

Less than an hour ago, I found out that a close relative died last week in a fatal accident back in Hawaii. The news is unexpected. It's sad and unsettling. And I don't know what to make of it all.

Earlier today, before I got that call, I was thinking randomly about the unpredictability of life, how everything that we live through and everywhere that we find ourselves is nothing like what we've envisioned. And in this time of confusion and grief, this contemplation resounds louder than ever before.
