Sadness into Light
Bry and myself went to a cemetery near our house today. I hadn't been in there, but I'd read up on it. There was a funeral taking place at the time. It was a military funeral and it made me so sad. I could see the cars driving up, then the family members getting out of their cars. All I could think about was how devastated they must've been. We continued to drive around and I kept the camera rolling. We continued to talk about the experience on the way home. He asked me if I thought we got enough footage. I said we got enough footage to keep me sad for the rest of the day. I tried not to let the experience ruin my day. I came home and reflected on it, and I thought that perhaps talking about death and reading about it recently would really disturb me, sadden me. In fact, all it's done is made me more driven. Made me realize that there are so many things I want to do, need to do, before I die.
