Where I live we often hear sirens heading out highway 1, especially on the weekends.  There’s always a feeling of sadness for whoever is affected and what has happened.  One never expects it to be someone you know, but this time it was.  A good friend fell asleep driving back from Commonweal.  Her car went off the side of the embankment on Panoramic highway and her car with her in it fell and turned over for 200 feet.  It was quite a rescue effort, involving our local agencies.  She’s in the hospital and she’s alive.  She will heal.  

I sit with it.  My father died in an accident.  It brings up fragility, something I’ve lived with since I was 19.  Like that, a person you love can be gone.  Take care – give care to yourself and those you love.
