IS THERE MORE THAN ALEX AND CASSIDY? Why yes; there is... What I am writing on today....Falling Through Shooting Stars... I still remember the first time I saw her, Katherine Maureen Brennan. Of course, I had the advantage. I could silently observe at a distance and I did. I remember thinking how fascinating she seemed. There was no denying that she was attractive and her intellect never seemed a point of debate or denial. She was well spoken and appeared personable; but you know, you always see what you wish to see at a distance. I hadn’t given it much thought; to tell you the truth; the notion that our paths might ever have a reason to collide. I mean, I was just like the millions of other silent observers. She was a personality more than a person. I would see her every morning, like so many others, sipping her coffee at the long desk, smiling as she imparted news mixed with witty conversation. When I think about it now it seems odd. She was part of my daily routine and I was a faceless, nameless shadow in the distance. Just like my life, Katherine Brennan, was a pleasant albeit predictable inevitability in the day. Life is funny, though. You move through it sometimes without even paying attention. It just becomes habit, living. You get up, you drink your coffee, switch on the television while you try to stretch the sleep away. You collide in the hallway with growing children and fight for a few minutes of privacy in the shower, hoping that will provide the final jolt you need to start a new day. Another sip of a cooled cup of terrible coffee and you kiss your wife goodbye. You learn to take it for granted; that it will always be this way. And, that seems perfectly acceptable. After all, it’s what you are accustomed to. It’s what you committed to. It’s what you see when you look backward and what you anticipate down the line. And, isn’t that exactly how it is supposed to be? Comfortable. Safe. Secure. Things change though. Sometimes, just when you think you know exactly what to expect, just when you are sure your life is resolved and you are agreeable to be resigned to it; it changes. Like the calm before a storm. If the comfortable chaos in my morning routine was the calm, then Katherine Brennan was the impending earthquake that would shake my world to its foundation. https://youtube/watch?v=IjUPYQN8_34
