One Ocean At A Time

Love From Sydney

Love From Sydney

I wish for an end to senseless tragedies

I believe that light will win over darkness

I know that love is the answer

I pray for peace

I hope for Paris

I offer condolences to all effected by the hatred of imbeciles who foolishly believe that murder paves the way to heaven

    Beautiful words. I so agree.

    Eloquent and beautiful words in such a dark time. The way the world has rallied in support brings hope.

    These tragic events rip me apart. How can we humans be so in-humane?

    Absolutely beautiful and touching words, Lisa. Well written.
    I side with you.

      Thank you Lucile! I’ve always known you to be a kindred spirit. I must admit that I thought of you when I wrote them. I’ve always admired your eloquence when speaking up about world issues (such as the #Refugee’s Welcome)

    Simple and true. I was blissfully out of touch with the world for several days over the weekend, and was welcomed back with this hideous news. 🙁

    Let’s bring beauty to the world instead of horror, Lisa! I love the Eiffel Tower in it’s tricolour but it’s so sad that it has to appear that way. Vive la France!

    I second your statements… Nous sommes Paris ??
    All my best wishes to you. Aquileana

    Beautifully stated. I pray along with you.

    A beautiful post, for these senseless times. Let’s hope the nonsense ends soon but I suspect many tragedies will happen before that it does end.

      Thank you. I share your fear that things will get a bit uglier before they turn peaceful again, but I am certain that ‘sense’ will prevail over ‘nonsense’ in the end.
