O.K. Late to thread.
Ummm. Garcia Lorca. Singing while beaten to death in a stadium by fascist regime.
The pilot who napalmed the Vietnamese girl (we all know the picture) and the girl herself, who is now a woman and peace activist. They are friends.
The Dalai Lama, who once, when asked how does one get over something they've done that they regret said, "I don't."
Dinah, didn't you write something about radical acceptance? What does that mean to you?Last night listening to Avo Part's "Fratres", in a church no less, thought how do such awful things happen to people we really don't deserve it any of us. The music usually just tears me apart, but last night, I felt it open me. Thinking again, in the most agnostic sense, that that is the mystery, or rather, is part of the mystery, and maybe.... There was the briefest glimmer of what?
Oh well, enough. Many heros in the world, the grand majority unknown or lying in unmarked graves.
Cheers!
