I don't know why, but I am not exactly jumping up and down with joy about the US capturing and killing Osama Bin Laden. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do think Osama is a heinous creature, but... I just fear for retaliation, for what happens next. I wonder if this was really a step for peace. Someone somewhere over there is mad at the Americans, and that someone can be a dangerous, more dangerous character. Yes, justice has been served for 9/11 victims, I get that. Yet, I am not entirely sure about what to feel. I think it's the NewYorker in me, I remember that day vividly, and I remember what it did to the people, how everyone was walking around like zombies for a long time, not knowing what to expect, not knowing what may happen. I will say a prayer for world peace this evening. That's the only thing I can do for now.
Beauty is everywhere to he or she who would behold it.
When God reigns supreme in the consciousness of man,
the tiniest blade of grass speaks of God's beauty.
~ Frater Achad
