just a random reflection

death and birth

in the last 6 months, I've encountered more closely these two opposite spectrums of the human existence..  not only encountered, but felt the weight.

a woman dies of stage 4 lung cancer...
... a new baby girl enters the world
a man dies of kidney failure...
... a new baby boy enters the world
two men die of heart failures...
... two friends announce pregnancy

such a cyclical pattern of death and birth... with life lying in between

graduate degrees achieved...
... jobs lost
sports history achieved in playoffs...
... limbs lost in marathons
relationships broken...
... new loves found

seems a bit morose... but yet perfectly natural

it most certainly demonstrates the insignificance of a single life.. but yet life remains completely precious

precious in our insignificance???  fascinating concept.
