911: The Rescue

Golden Rule

Every mother's tear over a lost child has equal weight whether that tear is shed over a grave, over a mangled but still living body or a soul mutilated by acts of violence witnessed or perpetrated.

Until that lesson is taken to heart by the majority in every nation, we are doomed to have repeats of 9/11.

The machinery of war cannot rescue us from fear. Retaliation begets retaliation.

Only love without boundaries can engender peace.

My heart is breaking today for all the mothers.

And for my nephew whose unit shipped out for Iraq Monday.
