December 14th, 10:27 PM. Vile headache from parsing news of the latest horrific gun violence tragedy. Rain falls, and thoughts of bed beckon me.
There comes a time where the left and the right, the liberal and the conservative, the 'must-control' and the 'cowboy militia' crowd simply must cease to talk, blather and yell.
They simply must be silent...unless they want to join us devastated human beings in a scream of volcanic anguish that surely could be heard at the edges of the universe.
Now is not the time to squabble about the deadly tools that usurp our hearts with broken voids. Now is the time for considered reflection, to fill those voids with love.

I read the first words and my heart sank. My wife next to me, we reflected on our 7 year old at school and at first we panicked. Then my heart ached for the parents affected, in any form. I was near tears and I want to embrace my fellow man, who are strangers, yet we share so much. I wish it would stop.
