If You're Ever Sad, Just Remember. . . .

A New York Times commenter by the name of Méz responded Monday to the news of David Bowie's death by eloquently advising, "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie or Springsteen or Paul Simon, Mick Jagger. . . ."  Oh, yes.  We would each personalize our own lists, of course, but theses thoughts--and that they were shared in response to an artist's passing--touched me and likely resonate with all of us who have loved so deeply.
