yesterday the news reached this oblivious traveler’s ears…paris…beirut…my heart is sick, my mind twisting and clouded over. i took “a moment” of silence before my meal, to offer metta for all those human beings and those that love(d) them…but the litany continued, as country after country, conflict after conflict, passed through my mind, and my soup grew cold.
i am sure, in a day or two, i will return to what must seem like inane entries about my musings and observations, the rhapsodic praises of the wonders of this place, and yes, probably even more photos of roots… but for today, i just want to stand and be counted among the masses who join in virtual vigil against the darkness of this madness, who cry for justice and an end to the insanity and violence and racism and bigotry, this grotesque misalignment of human potential. ya basta. only one photo from today’s hike to Harura falls…
