We live in a world of marvels.
Often we talk of the future and it's wonders waiting to be discovered, but the here and now has become equally astonishing.
The breadth, depth and scale of human ingenuity and endeavour is jaw-dropping and here Simone and her story is another example.
Maybe I'm being trite by looking for the good in the bad but pause for a moment and think of all that has been learned, how we have built a society and developed infrastructure such that at this particular confluence of time and space we as a species are capable of performing this life saving surgery.
And half a world away I follow the story through yet more confluences of knowledge and development.
It is astonishing. i know it's tempting to take it for granted but take a step back and think about it for a moment. It's astonishing.
I'm 32. I can only imagine how much more marvels I'll witness in my life, either remotely or in person.
