Boston, the Aftermath

The second suspect in Boston has been taken into custody and perhaps the puzzle of what makes some humans devalue the lives of their fellow men will be fitted with one more missing piece. It's a jigsaw of hatred, differing anger driven beliefs, and misguided vulnerable egos. May the pieces of madness be gathered, poured in a box and the lid sealed. May the people of Boston and all others around the world touched by senseless tragedy be wrapped in the love of others. May we, as we were meant to, have sweet dreams.

Boston, may hope overshadow the sadness

I look at what I wrote four hours ago about the beauty and peace of a spring day in the South, and I am sad. Dark clouds of hate have burst forth in Boston since then. They've taken the gift of light from the day we'd been given. 
Please world of my fellow humans, at least the few my words reach, let's begin a movement of emphasizing the beauty of being alive. Let us send hope of a world without violence. Let us stop shouting about our differences and start finding our similarities. Let us love one another, at least here, in our own country. Let us not destroy. Let us focus on the wonderfulness of our world, not on the evil thoughts of a few. Let us reach out and hold the hand of peace. Amen.
