That is quite a photo. You don't usually see those expressions on such guarded people.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I thought I'd share with you the quote that's being being passed around by my friends on facebook:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

ReplyDeleteIt's still lovely sentiment but it seems only half is MLK's. Oh the internet!
Thanks for the quote. The words are very meaningful and that in itself is the importance.
