I neither knew, not knew of, James Foley except in an abstract sense of the word. As someone who devours news and information on and from any number of platforms I am aware of the veritable army of people across the
globe engaged without surcease in reporting on the actions and activities of
this world, which we call news.
Mr. Foley was engaged in pursuit of inconvenient truths
wherever in the world he found them and wherever in the world they took him. We
all know what happened but I’m not sure that any of us have
any confidence in what happens next
despite opinions masquerading as facts from any and all political persuasions.
There is sadness for his family and friends and the
knowledge that the space in their lives he occupied will always and forever be
filled by ineffable and unending sorrow and an ache that cannot stop but there
are no words for them, him or for us. Just the realization that pure evil
exists in our world and that it always has and always will.
