Not again! Innocent lives wiped out by fanatics. We, in the States may be far removed from the horrors of the latest attacks but we are affected. We are moved, saddened, angered by the stupidity of extremists. These acts of terrorism in the name of a cause....?????? Life brings enough trials to everyone at one time or another, without the needless acts that affect not only the loved ones of those injured or killed, but also to those who share the faith of the radicals, but not the radicalism, and who by association are looked upon with a general hatred, fear and scorn by others not of their faith.
All of these acts against others are senseless, barbaric and loveless. Many are punished by the few who are filled with rage. Their fury takes over any compassion, love or hope in themselves and for others. All that is left is despair.
Today I fled to my haven of peace. I sat by our river....soothing, peaceful and restorative. We who live in the sanctuary of the beautiful Black Hills are fortunate, and during the shocking news the past two days, are grateful, ever so grateful to watch this latest tragedy unfold far away.
