But...

The world still turns in time around the Sun, and thus the days keep coming with no regard for respite. "Time moves forward" - 0r perhaps, "Tempus Fugit."

Such days when everyone is eager to react and react with flare, I find myself sitting back and allowing the many, many suddenly vocal participants to crowd the airwaves, the web, and every vacant corner with their 'many' words.

For what do I have to contribute; anything of merit or significance that would actually shift the tide of the great conversation?

Or perhaps, I watch instead of speak because their words ring so similar from the past. There is nothing new in death and endings in this world. Grief, though wanted to be unique by every individual wallowing in it, is still grief.

Watching those who become animated due to unwanted endings, teaches and reminds that Good steps out from the ashes, bearing the name "Beginnings."

Find the good, and let us continue living forward; for if we fail to pick our heads up, the one who took the lives of those 32 people, has taken our lives as well.

Yes, let there be talk and much of it. And then tomorrow, let us appreciate that there still is one by chasing it full stride.
