Thousand Oaks.. 12 dead? Closer to home Mr K. Gosh USA again? What the? Om mane padme hum, is a beautiful Buddhist expression I use when I have no words left for the pain or loss that arises again and again, it reminds me to always find compassion for all the stories behind it and after it. 🙏🏻
Karen, there are no words. Beyond distress.
I can imagine that is true for so many. I’m so sorry for this loss.
Yes…
307 mass shootings in 311 days in the U.S. in 2018. Sickening.

It is beyond words now. We must keep rising up within and collectively become stronger.
And Karen, here we are. Watching our government do/say absolutely nothing. Just another Killing Day.
You, me and others can make a difference, it’s not as obvious, but it’s still important and just as powerful 🙏🏻
Hmmmmm
a survivor of the strongest kind
sure is! those eyes…
How can I ‘like’ a photo showing a tiny survivor of such a horrible crash? I go with dear Karen who has lost her son at a young age and knows a bit about loss, death and pain – one day it’s oak trees, another killing young, youngest and old people, the terrible disregard of every human notion is constantly and ever-repeatingly heart-breaking…. Really, it leaves me with a dry throat, tears I cannot suppress, prayers and a very hurting heart – and I cannot imagine the pain all these events of such hate and careless conduct cause.
Yes. And yet this child, those eyes, so much Hope.
Sorry about the oak trees; realised just after ‘sending’ that this was the name of the mass killing’s place in CA. I was thinking of the baobab trees and even wondered how I could have gotten the name so wrong…. Sincere apologies!
no worries.

There’s this prayer that my mom says when ever I’m going out of the house. Her voice saying it over and over as I walked out of the house Tuesday at dawn still rings in my ears. And now that 3 of the kids are away most of the time, I find myself saying it.
This crazy world we will in. Good and evil walking side by side. Tragedy and hope, holding hands.
Her prayer is, “until you’re back home, may God keep you out of evil’s sight!”
Like THAT!
Sad about the accident, but glad for the baby!
Me too Marlan. Have a good weekend.
Thank God, the baby is safe. The killing scene in Thousand Oaks is too close to home. A few of my friends live there, but are all right. It really is a lovely community. No where is safe anymore.
It really is…so sad.
we thank God for his hand upon this beautiful child
So true….
Yes, those eyes. Such a horrible accident…
Yes….
To see this beautiful baby so lovingly swaddled…and wonder if his family were killed… May Klavan’s life be blessed that he can bring goodness and joy to many. And, they know his name!
Yes Valerie. I was so touched by this shot. I wonder, the way forward for this child, with such a brutal start to life.
