Praying. Shocked again. I still believe in Peace. [Boston Marathon]

Sports Grid

For all that has happened to us in America, our world, the hatred painted in word and deed, explosive with a reckless disregard for life, I still believe peace is possible.

Sad and grieving for another tragedy. 

We are living on the jagged edge of peace.

That is what we must all pray for. Peace.
The quotes in your post say so much.
What happened in Boston is of someone of a demonic mind.
Poor America. She has been hit hard through the years.. I hope they find the culprits.

Thought provoking, heart scalded...love that particular Gandhi quote.

Spending some time every day trying to be the change I hope to see in the world. Love has to be the answer. It's the only thing that can change the world.

Love to you, dear one.
