I went to a candlelight vigil / rally for Renee Good last night.

3. I read that some are disappointed in the turnout, but it was on short notice, and I believe that the depth of feeling

and heartfelt sympathy for someone who could be any one of us will echo through the universe and its big sympathetic nerve, and somehow put an end to the assault on dignity.

My Buddhist group seeks a change of heart, one person at a time, from the three poisons of greed, hate and delusion. While that might not come for a long time, especially in these darkest of times, historically speaking, it just has to reach a tipping point, where enough recognize that this week’s victim could easily be their own wife or daughter next week, the killing is so indiscriminate, if premeditated.

That sincere prayer is echoed by many, not gaudy, but hopefully heard by sympathetic souls.

Across boundaries of space and time.
