Cannon fodder

I spent time today putting together a cannon. Can't say as I ever thought I'd type those words.

We've been following the news because right around the corner from Sabrina's mom and dad's there was a body found, just off a trail we always walk and bike on. Its strange but I've had to check my attitude and thought process a couple of times as the curiosity of the three day long police investigation has at times bordered on morbid. Our minds are like cannons they are never passive, even as they stand there, the potential energy they represent is awesome, awe inspiring that is, and deadly too, dragging us places we didn't want to go, to places we didn't want to go but head off to anyway.

Now if only I could put my mind back together again. I guess that's what renewal is about.
