Transience

Any time, anywhere, anyone.

Life is transient that way. Things that could have been, things that never were, all snatched in flashes of time. I wonder how anyone really feels when they know that it's their last moment. Does your life flash before your eyes? Do you get a glimpse of what could have been, that tantalising strand of hope? Do you fight for every breath, with every sinew, fight to stay alive? Or do you just know...?

I find it hard to believe. I had only just met the guy 4 weeks ago. We said hi a few times, talked a little. Today, we all got an email telling us there was an accident and he is dead. It's not like I know the guy, I just find it quite surreal.

Life is here, it is now. Grab it, squeeze hard and hold on tight.
