This week has been an odd one, made odder and more horrible for people all over the world by the Germanwings plane crash a few days ago. Despite all the horrors happening every day, something so needless and violent and obvious strikes a different sort of chord. There is nothing about the crash that is not truly, tragically heartbreaking, which makes it difficult to talk and write about. Suffice to say, it makes us feel a little less safe, and a little more aware of our own mortality, followed by a horrified awareness of our own selfishness - 150 people died, yet here we are thinking about ourselves. I know I'm not the only person to feel like this, but ultimately it's not about that. It's about mourning the victims and helping the grief-stricken left behind. Due to all this, I didn't feel like writing a blog post about myself this week. Nothing particularly noteworthy happened, it had its ups and downs like any other week, and I am just another insignificant speck...
