silently exhale to a quieter place.
it is a full moon today. as i sit here i am viewing life from a different reality than the reality i experienced when i opened my eyes this morning.

just a side note my shift key is broken so endure the lower case beginnings and limited punctuation.
the system theories course with dr. ray becvar began today. i have been sitting in a room questioning reality as i view it from my context and discovering who 'i be' within the context that i know and how that context changes upon encountering another.
lunch began at 12. i went home and walked the dogs in the park, later stopping to buy a couple of tacos from hola's on the corner near my house. i was eating my huevos y arroz taco on the street and wandered to the corner. i noticed several police cars and officers standing in the street. turning the corner i saw a man laying in the street and he was dead, partly covered by a sheet. i was shocked and saddened. it is strange because i could not have predicted my reaction to the event. the man had just exited this reality as we understand it and his non functioning body was so close to my breathing and blood pumping body. he was a construction worker that fell from the top story of a building. writing about this is bringing tears to my eyes and my heart is aching. i wonder about his life, did he have a family or a partner that he has left behind. i am not really sure what else to write about this. today has left me speechless. i know it is an uncomfortable subject for some so feel free to pass up the need to comment in order to fix something because nothing is broken. just shaken, moved and saddened by the natural process we must all eventually experience. it is interesting to me that i would see death in such a real way for the first time in a country that is so open and accepting of death.

i think today is the last full moon of the equinox which represents the end and the end always signifies the start of a new beginning. goodnight
