Twenty one years ago today, my hometown experienced the
terror that two teenagers, feeling a sense of desperation and isolation, can
bring to their high school, their community and our nation. It was considered a rare event back then –
unfortunately, it has now become all too common:
Life is hard and can often seem hopeless for many young
people. If you have a son or daughter;
grandchildren; nieces or nephews; or neighborhood kids; reach out to them
today.
Tell them today that you love them and will support them as
they try to make their way in the world.
And if they are struggling to make ends meet – give them a few bucks,
reassure them. Today, help them feel
they belong. Give them hope.
Let’s reverse our society’s violence. Let’s use our power of compassion to increase
the sunlight for those heading towards darkness:
It takes the sun to create a shadow – accept
that the dark and the light live side by side in all of us.

It’s not just my home town of Littleton, Colorado - We are
all Columbine:
May you feel peace - and share the power of peace with
others - today - especially today - and then every day thereafter!
