Heath Ledger, 28, found dead.I'm not into celebrity gossip that much, but sometimes things just jump out and hit you and you sit there, reeling, trying to make sense of death. You think, cynically, that this must all be a joke somehow. A scam to make big blockbuster bucks.
Nope.
And then I realize...I'm 28.
It's a little detail like this that brings me just a little closer to mortality, to greatness, to sadness. It is both sobering and comforting to know that however illusory and tenuous your connections are to those around you, in the end they will still be severed by death, the great equalizer, the thing we all must live for and face, regardless of how we lived.
Peace be with his family and loved ones.
