Common Enchantments

The Door

"Between every two pine trees,
 there is a door leading to a new way of life."   John Muir




Sad today that another person let hate rule his heart.  This killing is no one's fault except the shooter. He hated.   Choices were made that led him to the wrong door.   He had control of what he wanted to do.   Don't cast blame except on the killer.      Evil people and mass killing have been around since the beginning of time if you know your history.   It could be crashing a plane, making a bomb, releasing a deadly gas.   Throwing people in a pit of hungry animals.  Making people leave their homeland by terrorizing with clubs and whips.   Don't let the media give you the impression that this could have been stopped from happening because of a gun law.     It could not.   Life happens, people are cruel and mean and take that hate out on innocents. Because they find a way.       Taking away guns, taking away freedoms will never solve this problem.  

Be sad that others have died.  Be sad that this killer made this choice.  Be sad that we will see this kind of thing happening again and again here in the US and in other countries.          But in all this sadness, I have Hope.  I have hope and love to give to those that are my people, my friends, my acquaintances, my little part of the world.    Let love be your first emotion..not anger, not blame, not hate.  That is what this killer felt. 
 
Open the door.   Choose the good door that leads to hope and love.
