heavy heart
« on: February 01, 2003, 01:13:00 PM »
Have just been watching the coverage of the Columbia space shuttle explosion--7 on board, including the first Israeli astronaut. Although I am not religious, I can't help but pray that they somehow were able to comfort one another in those last moments. So many lives lost...

  Underscoring this tragedy is a bittersweet irony. The parents of the Israeli astronaut were both Auschwitz survivors. They endured the most heinous atrocity of the 20th century, yet lost their precious son to one of humankind's greatest achievements. May their tears supplant our own suffering with lust for life...

My mind, overwhelmed by the events unfolding before my eyes, was exhausted.
I had to turn off the television.

Peace to the shuttle crew victims,
Peace to the families of those victims,
Peace to a world of individuals innundated  with too many human tragedies.
Rest to the weary.

I too was unpleasantly suprised at today's national tragedy. One must appreciate one's life as long as possible, for we do not always chose how that life will end. Today's events were indeed sad for the families of the killed and all Americans for that matter. Well, we will recover soon, I hope, and reestablish our foothold in the quest for outer space and beyond. MG8 :smokin:

What was it Reagon's speach writer said. They went out to see the stars only to touch the face of God. I am glad they got todo the one thing they had worked their whole lives to do and, while saddened by their deaths, rejoice in their accomplishment.
