fragility.

this seems to define the human condition this week.
first watching my mum struggle with her afflictions and now my student xiu min informs me her dad suddenly died of a heart attack.

it's tragic and i'm sure the family is devastated but i could offer no comfort. perhaps a hug if i see her. even then i've become so detached from people it seems like another bad day. we all will pass on, as will i and when that happens i hope it will not be seen as tragic but a release.

i just want to live on long enough to take my kids to japan. after that it's immaterial.
namaste.
