A Few Words (posted to Facebook on 5/15/08)

Though the deafening crash may still ring in your ears, and even when you feel like you can't even go in that room anymore because of the jagged pieces of that thing you once knew...you still have to walk in, tread carefully so as not to harm yourself more, sweep up the pieces, and decide whether or not to keep them or to throw them away. You'll find something as valuable to cherish later in your life, but only if you get past the fact that the first item is broken. Don't be afraid to walk in that room, don't be afraid to fill the room with new items to brighten it...because things break all the time. It's a fact of life.
