Sad Again

I was sort of goofing off and sort of working all at the same time today, watching videos of Prince live in concert, when, completely to my surprise, I was hit by a wave of sadness. It was caused, I assume, by a sudden sense of disconnection between the abundant joyous life I was watching and richly hearing on stage and the reality of that life being no longer with us. It wasn't grief in any way. It was just the hollowness left when something great has gone that seemed for a moment to echo. And a momentary sense of music lost.
