This week has been hellish.
We have been attacked, terrified, maimed – body and spirit – killed. We have been taken over by misfortune from
Massachusetts to Texas and so many small unknown events in between.
Once again we have proven that we are resilient and one in
our love of whom we are. Our differences
have fallen away. We have helped each
other, no questions asked, no criteria needed.
We were people in need. It was
the only door, flung wide open, to our humanity.
The media was careful and respectful. Eagerness for the “story” quickly braked and
common sense prevailed. The blame game dissolved into the background.
Social media, so often a tool for harm, turned into a
warrior’s sword for good. Michael the
Archangel, defend us in battle, was a new battle cry. Evil was brought low by all of us.
Together.
Together.
Unification of effort.
No egos.
People being happy watching others being happy became people
with a weapon for truth. The eye of a camera,
of a video, one person’s personal vision joined with the personal visions of others, showed the path to our
attackers.
Yes, this week has been hellish but we became who we truly
are during this hellish time. I'm feeling better today because we have all been reminded that we are the best. We are a country of people united by one goal of
being the best we can be not only for ourselves as individuals but as a people
united by the common goal of saving other and thereby saving each other.

I don't say this often, but I was pretty impressed by the media this time. They often over report and they did some this time, too -- but nothing that did harm, I think. It was very respectful. And yes, social media showed true colors for the best.
Boston AMAZED us!
"Our differences have fallen away. We have helped each other, no questions asked, no criteria needed. We were people in need. It was the only door, flung wide open, to our humanity."
i know i am making a huge leap here...but i want to throw it open so wide, it includes caring for every ones highest and best good.
no differences, no borders, no holding back.
The only answer to outrageous pain is outrageous love.

Such a sad occasion but I agree with you, people pulled together and pulled through. Lots of credit to everyone involved.

Evil knows the power of unity all too well. We should too.
Great post.
Thank you for your visit.
I'm glad you mentioned it. I thought it was just me who noticed the cameramen and photographers staying away, showing respect.
