They ask so meekly
“Accept this.” As if it were
some innocent thing.

Dreaming of Nice, praying for peace On a day like today
So little else to say

❤ ❤ ❤ France we stand with you. ❤ ❤ ❤

My original post was going to be an angry rant. I had a picture of that very disturbed young man and my title was: “Who the f*ck sold him a gun?”
I am still wondering that. I mean — the guy was questioned by the FBI (more than once!) plus he was a bona-fide racist, homophobe, anti-Semite, misogynist, wife beater, connected to ISIS and the Boston bombers, a veritable powderkeg of terror… And they sold him a gun?? Really??
Really??
But I will contain my angry rant. It seemed as good a time as any to post this video, to remember this lesson, to actually take these words seriously:
Breathe peace. Know peace. Live peace.
Be the solution, not the angry rant 🙂
Orlando, we stand with you.
