When I took pictures this morning of my flowers, I intended to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. But it rings hollow now. Another school shooting ... so much tragedy. So sad and so senseless.
Once upon a time I believed we were on an upward path, becoming a little more civilized as years went by. But I am disillusioned. The veneer of civilization is not only thin; it is cracked and dented and falling off in big chunks. God help us.
...amen sister!
ReplyDeleteIt is terribly sad.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't know what we can do about this. It seems like the only reasonable option is becoming "abandon ship" or perish. Very sad. :(
ReplyDeleteYou words ring so true
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty, blushing rose <3 Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty one!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see and enjoy beauty, and to think and talk about averting more tragedies.
ReplyDeletesending prayers
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is utter madness. But if Sandy Hook wasn't going to result in real change, nothing will, not even more school shootings. Wayne LaPierre and those he has under his thumb will have to answer, in this life or the next, for their actions.
So true and so sad. It's so tragic that it's becoming the norm.
ReplyDeleteYour rose is very pretty.
Very sad news indeed. Such a horrible tragedy.
ReplyDeleteYour flower is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Rosa perfeita para uma triste tragédia, Meu deus nunca tem fim....

ReplyDeleteYou said it well. How else can we express our horror at the senseless losses?
