The horrific event today in Boston paints my words in a dark color. The world has turned on its axis again and the ominous cloud that lingered above humanity grows bigger. What evil force drives people to commit such heinous and unforgivable acts?
I sat on my deck tonight listening to the sounds of nature. But those sounds lent no comfort knowing that the sound of terror pierced the ears of so many in a city that should be celebrating – a city that had so much enthusiasm a few hours ago and is now fearfully peeking from behind closed curtains and pacing the hallways of local hospitals.
Innocent children and adults have lost their lives and others who harnessed their athleticism for charities may run no more as they fight for life and limb in hospitals around the city. Adrenaline was replaced by fear – triumph replaced by tears.
I can only write my words of sorrow and my feelings of disgust for the explosions at the Boston Marathon. The tragedy has happened but the ripple effect of those explosions will continue as people fear everyone and trust no-one. My heart and prayers go out to all of those affected.

I used to live in Boston and nothing like that happened when I lived there. I can only imagine what people must be feeling. Awful business.
It’s a small blessing living in such a small town, but it’s doesn’t change the pain I feel for those poor people.
Well said. Horrific. Unforgettable. Unforgivable?
So tragic and unnecessary. It puts a whole new perspective on life.
I live in Canada, yet am not removed from feeling the pain of this horror. Runners from the world participate, this act has already been heard and felt around the fragile earth we call home.
I live in Canada as well and am thankful we are partially removed from these horrible acts, but the sadness crosses borders so quickly.
Atrocities such as this are senseless and pointless. This is no way to get a point across, if that was indeed the meaning of such a heinous act.
It breaks my heart.
Mine, too. I just don’t get it.
Absolutely hideous. My thoughts go out to all those beautiful people whose lives have been shattered by this evil (not a word I normally use, but it fits here)
It definitely does fit here. 😦
