i think of myself as a considerably non-emotional person in the large spectrum of emotions and drama. dont get me wrong, i can get pretty fired up about certain things. and enthusiasm is normally very present. however, i am ready to admit that this week i have experienced a pretty high level of emotions, most of them sad and dark, revolving around the lessons of life and death. sometimes it just hits ya, ya know? that it is a PRIVILEGE to have our breath. and friends. and people who care about us. 

this photo of adam yauch aka MCA, by jay blakesberg, is giving me an opportunity to express my gratitude for some of those very things: my breath, my friends, those who care about me. life just has a way about it sometimes… especially with the contrast of death.
