Tomorrow we fly to Denver and will drive very close to Theatre 9, which became part of history today. The media has talked about nothing else… the talking heads are in their full glory. Minute-by-minute updates revealing the gory details and the shooter. What they miss in their sensationalizing is this simple revelation: in a moment, a random act which we have no control over can end everything.
So while we live in the moment and go through our lives overly involved in the daily events that occupy us, stop for a second and think about what you would miss the most. This is what really matters….
Editor’s Note, 07/05/26: The Theatre in Denver refers to the Aurora theater shooting, which took place in Theater 9 at the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, a suburb of Denver.
On July 20, 2012, during a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, a gunman entered Theater 9 through an emergency exit shortly after the movie began. He deployed tear gas and then fired into the audience. Twelve people were killed and 70 others were injured, making it one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history at the time.
