Then there was the celebration. The thanks for being alive, for an extra day, an extra minute. Life is a gift. We don't earn the right to birth. Every moment is a bonus. Any of us can go at any time, in a car accident or an horrific event such as this.

Life is good. Go out side get some sky and some wind. Drink some water and give thanks for survival. Do this rather than giving in to despair, to quarreling, to fixating on the problems of America, or vengance or Bushes failings, or Bin Ladens lunacy. Find the positives from this. People can and are drawing tog
ether from this tragedy, just as they can give way to anger, hate and arguments both in the streets of Dallas or on a public message board.

Hallelujah.

Yorick, what a beautiful and inspiring post. You point out the way forward for all humanity, - though love, care, mindfulness and community.

As Captain Picard says, (let's) make it so!'

That's so well said. If nothing else, we should all learn something of this and come back together as a Nation AND as a worldwide community. I pray that it will stay this way for a long time to come.
