As we go about our day, we are compelled to be in a rush. Hurrying from this activity to the next intending to accomplish more and more each day. Suddenly an event happens with the loss of a loved one and our world is put back into a clearer perspective.

As we rest each evening and sleep at night our brains are in a constant state of processing. Although part of this processing we must be thankful for as it keeps us breathing and heart pumping, there is a completely different part which is in the mode of distilling all of information overload points of the day.
