A couple hours ago a man got into a Jewish center in Seattle and shot 6 women. One of the women has died. He said he was doing it because he was angry with Israel.
Send love and good thoughts for the other 5 women. One of them is pregnant.

I'll meditate on it tonight, Knotted.
People can do such stupid things for such stupid reasons.

Here's a news link. I've been watching the TV, and things seem to be changing every few minutes.

Ok, in a way I'm sort of relieved that it's beginning to look like the shooter was a man from Pakistan. It would be awful to think a Seattleite would be so hateful as to shoot 6 women over far-distant politics. But then it begs the xenophobia issue.
It's just crazy. What is wrong with people? (and why is it men who tend to be so dang violent?)
Why is the world so nuts?
DPITA's family hid in a ditch for 3 days to escape the Nazis, then managed to get almost to the German/Netherlands border on foot before they were trapped by a border closure.
Why does all this hatred and violence continue? Why?
And why in my hometown, which is so liberal and tolerant it's almost a joke?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I just got email from my church triathlon team (Unitarian) that one of the three critically injured women is from my church and the triathlon team. She was shot in the abdomen, and it sounds like she was shot more than once. She is a member of the UU church board, so is well known to the congregation.
One of our ministers (and the leader of our UU triathlon team) is in contact with the hospital."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

This world is in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis.....
I just cannot understand why so many horrific things happen -- it seems as though whenever I open the paper or turn on the TV......there are so many sad, sad, tragic stories...
Amen to that!Originally quoted by LISE: Remember the hope, the love, and the joy that surrounds us, too. Do not dispair. We hold the light for each other.
God Bless You & Yours Everyone!
