I have been having quite a good week recently; much of my work has been going well and there is a constant amount of interesting projects and opportunities coming my way.
I was watching the news this morning with the police arrests to thwart a major airplane bombing campaign. The death toll would have been incredible as stated on the news.
I am sitting outside in front of the National Theatre beside Waterloo bridge looking at the world around me and wondering what people are thinking as I type this.
Leaving aside the "causes" for this situation; is this the way civilized people act? I was having a discussion about this with a neighbor this morning before I made my way into the centre of London.
I think about the people in Lebanon and the people who lived through Bosnia.
I have not encountered much violence directly in my life. I did have a friend who was murdered years ago; thankfully, his killers were brought to justice. I have not thought about him in a long time.
I reflect on all of these things.
I also think about the people I love and care about and those who have disappeared and have opted to hide from reality. You know who you are.
