I must admit I have done very little today, the events of this morning took all the wind out of my sails. I have been walking around all day, not in a state of shock, but similar to that. I think some of that can be attributed too all I have lived through, and each shock seems to be worse than the last.
I vividly remember December 7, 1941, and the shock of that day, it was senseless and cowardly, I was only nine then, but I remember the emotions and the faces of the young college men, who I am sure were aware of the impact that would have on their lives.
The Kennedy and King assassinations. I remember the start of Desert Storm, watching it live on TV, almost to the point where, "the war will start in five minutes." Korea, Viet Nam, 9/11 and all the other events that have entered into our lives. Each a shock.
Those moments cause me to pause and reflect, wonder and speculate, primarily pause, and wonder what is happening in this world, where we have gone wrong, what is causing these incidents, and wondering if there actually is a cause.
What next?
