However

I try not to let much bother me.  I understand that, sad things happen.  Bad things happen.  Strange things happen.

Sometimes, we even manage to locate a good reason for all of that.

However, when the dark, angular shadow of the deer crossing the plain in front of my house separates from the deer itself, runs the opposite direction, and leaps down into a gulley…that bothers me a little.
