I'll tell you more about it in the actual writing that I read.

But it was when I came upon a dead bird.

When I saw the bird, it wasn't dead yet.

It was in the process of going to the Great Beyond.

And it moved me so much.

It took me completely off guard, but it moved me so much that I wrote about it.

And I guess I don't really have a whole lot to say about it, except life is so short.

And if you're out there listening to this, driving around or doing whatever you're doing, going for your daily walk or in your minivan or, you know, while you're

working out, God forbid, while you're on the treadmill, you poor suffering soul, doing some tedious

chore that you don't want to be doing. Life is brief. You know this. You know this probably

better than I do, but sometimes we forget. Life does not

last, but more than a few seconds. And the order you get, the faster it seems to go. When I was a kid, my goodness,

one day felt like it lasted a year. A year felt like it lasted a decade. But now one day of my life is a drastically different percentage of my life than it used to be.

And so it goes so much faster.
