Sandy Hook: The End of the World
On Friday, Dec. 14th, the day began with celebrations for the 94th birthday of BKS Iyengar. By lunchtime, celebrations were unimagineable as news of yet another senseless slaughter of innocent people. 6 and 7 year olds, and the teachers who protected them. We don't need to wait until Dec. 21st, 2012 to witness the end of the world. The world ended for the parents of those children. It ended for their siblings, their aunts, uncles, grandmothers, and grandfathers. It ended for the families of the heroes who shielded them. The world has ended when a parent goes to pick up a child at school, and finds out there is only a body. That the hugs will never be again. The only thing left is a memory. Pictures. Thoughts of what could have been. Perhaps the yearning to have uttered the words "I love you" more often, or at least one more time. As a community comes together in shock, to understand the madness, let us come together as a human race to support those grieving families. T
