A Little Prayer for Humanity

Posted on the 16 April 2013 by Felicakes @felicakes

Dear Friends, This morning, I woke up thinking "Owh man, another day at work.  Why can't I just stay at home and continue sleeping with my baby by my side?"   I got out of bed and turn on the TV like I normally would.  I would usually turn it to one of the cartoon channel that has Dora on, but this morning a clip on the CNN channel caught my attention. "Bomb blast at the Boston Marathon". Immediately, I had to find a place to sit.  My eyes started tearing.  I am not sure why, it just did.  Who would want to bloody do something like this?  A bloody MARATHON for God sake!  Why?  I couldn't wrap my head around it.  I went to get the  Lil' Tiger her morning milk and told her to go watch the TV in mummy's room.  I sat on the couch outside. My eyes still glued at the images and videos coming in.  Why? was still my question.  Why why why?   I have been reading about the preparation for the Boston Marathon on some of the running facebook pages I subscribe to so I know how tough it is to even qualify for the marathon. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious marathon to run.  I said a prayer for the victims. I hope they find peace a solace in this time of need.  I pray for the volunteers and people offering their help to the victim.  I hope they will be blessed with joy and compassion.   I said a prayer for the person or persons behind this cowardly attack.  I hope they pay for what they did. And I said a prayer for the rest of Humanity.  I hope we would learn to love one another again.  I hope we find peace and I hope we find compassion with and from one another.  In the meantime, I shall hug my Lil' Tiger a little tighter and longer tonight.  I will tell her how we should always help and love one another.  I hope you do to, friends.  I hope you do to.  xoxo,  feli.
