Shivers at the heel
I was so thankful to hear back from Duncan this morning. He happened to be back in England this week for interviews. He was scheduled to head into Central London, but had heard the news before he executed on the plan.
"It seems pretty scray stuff... I can't understand how it wasn't worse though, it's really bizarre. The attacks, devastating and awful as they are, could have been far worse - so why weren't they? Anyway, let's be thankful so few people were killed and injured."
His comment is not out of disrespect, but a matter of fact feeling in the crazy world today. The notion that danger lurks at every corner is something we are, sadly, normalizing to.
