Life's Black Holes

A black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. ~Wikipedia

 

I've been away from this blog for over a month - longer than any time since I started it in late January 2010. I was in a personal black hole, trying to manage a normal routine when facing losing a part of that which I have known since birth.  It's funny how, when feeling heavy with emotion or loss, life truly goes on. Oh, one's own life may feel like it has ground to a halt.  But life around you moves forward as if nothing has changed.  It makes so much sense that that should be but it also feels like an affront...a mockery of sorts.

I've emerged from the black hole for awhile.  I know it's temporary.  But so is everything else...except, perhaps, for the black holes of the universe.
