I have been touched by the recent deaths
of children. In Austrailia a young boy
wanted his younger brother saved from the
flood, and didn't live until rescuers returned.
The 9-year-old shot in Tucson, the older man
who jumped in front of his wife, and all the
rescuers who are out there in floods,
in snow in the Northeast, in earthquakes,
in mudslides...all those who rush to help
the best they can.
I marvel at the human spirit,
that torch in so many that reaches
out to another, does the hard work
in helping out animals or people
and keeps doing it for years.
Today I am applauding all those efforts.
There is a greatness in the common man
that we don't say enough about.
There is a joy in reaching out
and pulling others along.
Attention needs to focas on that part
that is our best.
This head of my aunt,who lived a long life,
sculpted by my sister shows the
creative energy of both
and represents today for me,
endurance of the human spirit
and that joy of service
that makes us great.

Yes in times of great tragedy it is good to focus the goodness that shows up in man kind. just for balance and to keep us thinking calmly and logicality about the world and life itself. With the shootings in Tucson the reporting is so constant that it is good to think of something else just to keep from getting bogged down and feeling nothing but the heaviness of the horrendous happenings.Therefore I very much enjoyed seeing your little grand kids cuddling in their warm snuggies against the Panquitch chill.There is always good in the world along with the bad. this focus helps to keep the human spirit strong and builds the resiliency to recover from the worst things that do happen sometimes. Kudos Anne for reminding others.
