Lessons

Fragility and resilience

Actions create consequences every bloody day.

I had two lifelong lessons reinforced yesterday afternoon.

First, the world is full of good people who go out of their way to help others without expecting a transactional benefit.

Second, the amazingly flexible human body responds to force by breaking—literally—some times. Treated with some care, it will heal.

To avoid mystery, I broke the two bones in my lower arm badly avoiding another car on a narrow road but no one else was hurt, thankfully.

The sum of these reminders is that I can only type briefer pieces for the next couple of weeks as my body heals from a less than perfect afternoon.

I apologize in advance.

Be well and please be safe. FIN
