The passengers and crew of Air France flight 447 experienced their last moment above the stormy waters of the Atlantic. And no matter how hard we try, we can't truly imagine what that moment was like. We can't (or won't) force ourselves to go there. That moment is too real. So real we'd call it 'surreal' just to ease the cold, sharp, starkness of it.
From the pier in Manhattan Beach today, I watched children and dolphins at play. Surfers waited for the best waves as raindrops fell from a shaded sky.
Our moment may come at any time. But kids and dolphins will still play on both sides of the water's edge, and surfers will still shiver as they wait for 'the' wave.
