Sprung Spring

...this has been a hell of a ride for most of the folks living in these parts. I have written a long psychotic rant about VA Tech, guns, society, God etc... but have decided not to publish... perhaps next year, or decade, when and if there is some peace time for more perspective. I’m sure most folks around here have the same broken hearts. Needless to say, I myself want to curl up in a ball and yet here I sit on a keyboard forcing myself to carry on. I really can not imagine what life must be like for the people in Iraq. This happens every day for them... yes, every day. I still believe (naive and corny perhaps... like the Beatles) that all we need is love (and that includes empathy) to help fix the world.

If you can stand it, (no terrible photos) here’s a link to the little known refugee crisis our bumbling country has created, (with interviews of REAL, nice, hurting, people... but Iraqi), that gets absolutely no coverage in our press... talk about broken hearts. Perspective. (photo via blue gal)

O.K. done with being blue (for now). For something that may lift your spirits a bit, this is a sweet diversion.
