Life is a Theater

Depressing, poignant image from Daniel Florien after his visit to the Aurora shooting memorial at the Century 16 movie theater.

I am back in the car, my pilgrimage behind me. I close my eyes, grateful to have been spared, so far, such tragedies in my life.

As we drive past the Century 16, still surrounded by police tape and containment barriers, I can’t help but think that, in a way, we are all attending our final movie showing.

Life is a theater where we never know when the movie will end. All we can do is, with our friends and family, enjoy it the best we can, until the show is over and the screen fades to black.

Scary thought. When will my bad guy jump in and ruin this movie for me?
