Anyone listening to the tragedy that happened in Tuscon today hopefully found themselves conscious of just how much the human condition can go awry. The gunsmen who targeted the Arizona congresswoman was not what I would call "conscious", meaning that he obviously was far off the mark from his soul and from the oneness that connects us all. The 9-year old girl who was killed in the rampage was born on September 11, 2001. Although that may seem ironic, it is no accident that this little girl's life started and ended on days of tragedy. This girl's life has something incredibly important to teach all of us. When we do not remain conscious in our own lives, we affect others'. When we get of track, we take others down with us. Has our country really become so "unconscious" that we don't care who we hurt just to say we are "right"? Have we really gotten so oblivious to our integrity. The daily news seems to show us just this. Something needs to change.... and soon.
Bless the victims of that shooting as well as their family and friends.
