It is a gorgeous warm blue-sky day so I decided to take our dog Sadie on a late afternoon walk, as winter will be returning again tomorrow. Just down the hill at the intersection we saw a small group of people huddled around a young person who was lying on the ground trying unsuccessfully not to cry. He was covered with blankets and being comforted by adults, and I heard the ambulance just blocks away. Everything was well in hand so we did not stay to gawk as our help was not needed. I am guessing it was a car-pedestrian accident which took place at an intersection, so the car should have been going at low speeds.
What struck me, though, was the reminder that even while we are doing and thinking the most mundane things, somewhere tragedy is striking someone. Life is so fragile. Be careful out there.
