Sleepless Empathy ..........





I was awake during the night thinking about my problems.
Broadband internet down for 2 days and ongoing thanks to TalkTalk.co.uk
Time Machine hard drive burned out - not backing up.
Bugs in the system I fear ………

AND THEN my mind switched to London Bridge.
Those who saw terrible attacks by vehicle and knives.
Those who saw their friends knifed multiple times.
Those who saw others knifed to death.
Those injured because they stepped up to help others.
Those who have lost a loved one - experienced their death or injury close to hand.
Those who need to travel back to their home nation alone …………

Reliving it when they lie wake during an exhausted attempted half sleep.
I have deep empathy.
I don’t have problems ……….

I feel pain.
I want to feel the pain of others.
Loss.
Hurt.
Fear.
Dread
Uncontrollable tears ………..


I have a candle on my desk …….  lighting it today ………
