I am watching the CNN coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings and I feel nothing. I don't care in any real way. It's so big and so horrible and so crazy that I simply cannot grasp it.
I know that these students must be angry and frightened and rattled by the chaos. I know their families must be rocked right down to their bone marrow. I wish I had sympathy/empathy.
This is a defining moment. This college will never be the same. This community will never be the same. And yet I have absorbed none of it.
I'm going to keep watching until my heart catches up with my head.
