one of the last times i recall such a tranquil, beautiful blue sky day was actually on 9/11 - hitherto, until the Pope's passing, i was skeptical of blue sky days knowing that murder, accidents, misfortune can happen on such days - maybe i even took a liking to Seattle and more gray rainy days of Pittsburgh - yet, now, i feel released of anxiousness from the fear of another attack.  seeing the footage of the Vatican City and all the people of the world coming together - i know have hope in mankind again - hope for civilization and the kind of peace & love Ghandi knew - i know there's still hatred, darkness and evil out there - but i am not afraid or anxious from it - no more.

 

many thanks,

john
