Planet Earth is Blue

I'm sorry if my last few posts were kind of on the gloomy side. I'm having sort of a gloomy week. It's mostly that I'm sad about David Bowie. It's funny how somebody you never met can be a genuine loss to you. His death doesn't change my day-to-day life, but it still feels like the world is less for his absence. It's not even knowing that he won't be making any more music, or that now I'll never be able to meet him. It's, like, a disturbance in the Force or something. Yo know, I'm a Catholic, so I don't think people just stop existing after they die. He's still out there somewhere, and I think by the time I go to Heaven he'll be there. No one knows what happens after someone dies, really, but no one is beyond God's love and mercy, least of all someone who brought so much beauty and joy into the world. I'm no theologian, but I think David Bowie probably made the cut.

Rest in peace, David Bowie
