Twenty-six years ago today, my Littleton town 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, hunting our school children has become an almost daily event now:
Life is hard and can often seem hopeless for many young
people:
Giving
up on somebody takes nothing. Helping
them change takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and love. In the end, it’s worth it.

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. If they’re struggling to make ends meet –
give them a few bucks, reassure them. Today,
help them feel they belong. Give them
hope.
Let’s address 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 a high school in the town of Littleton,
Colorado where I lived - We are all Columbine:

May you feel peace - and share the power of peace with
others - today - especially today - and then every day thereafter!
