sur-reality

wow! just a few minutes ago i walking down the waikiki beach boardwalk and came across an unexpected scene. more than a dozen policemen, firemen, and emt's. and sadly a death. who imagines they will come on vacation and experience a horrific tragedy. it's unthinkable. i found myself immediately moved to pray for the person's family. they might not know for a while more, they might have watched it happen, they might not even be here.

i am not sure why i decided to post this for you all to read, but it moved me. how quickly life fades from our grasps, and at the moments we least expect. there were more than a thousand people on the beach and someone was still able to drown. i promise my next post will not be so somber.
