mortality revisited

On my way home, there was a dead man on a busy street. The cops blocked the street, and the body was uncovered. When I witness the visual, three dimensional reminder of mortality, it makes my insides twist. I dropped on my knees and prayed for this man and my students ,who are celebrating their junior prom. There has been alot of death around me: A car accident and a train accident in my neighborhood. (Frightening warnings from my mind and God.)
