Man! How true this is! Our bodies are just like silly putty, but without the bendable-ability!
This is a profound entry, most surely!

How many times have we watched floods, terror attacks and more on television and cried at the terrible disaster before our eyes, hold our loved ones closer to us hoping with all our heart that such things might never happen again. Life is fragile and sometimes we need reminding of just our vulnerable we are. Brilliant one-liner. Von

Hi Von, I concur completely. Each new disaster whether natural or man made reminds us of just how fragile and vulnerable life is. We pray that we and those we love may be kept safe not really considering those we do not know, but since the Tsunami, September 11th in America and the 7th of 7th here in England I have begun praying for everyone, for the terrorists that thy may see how wrong what they are doing is, for the victims and their families and for all those in between. Thank you for your comments. Best wishes & stay safe K
