London Bridges

Heard from a few friends yesterday. None of them mentioned London and the bombings. Instead we discussed horses, the rain, erosion and mothers. I think we were seeking security, wanted to know that the world would keep on turning, and that small everyday things were still important in our lives. Though we skirted all around the London issue I feel sure it is what bridged the distances between us, made us reach out, span the deep dark waters of those with no sense of the value of a human life, and touch something safe, a friend.
