to all those circumstances. I do indeed.

This is not sad news. This is GLORIOUS news!
Life is not broken. Nothing is wrong.

with the belief that life is "supposed" to be "fair."

Only when both sides shake hands,
and agree that there is no winner, no loser,
only people who have wearied of fighting

joint Protestant-Catholic commemoration
of the Northern Ireland dead,
comprised of members of the once-outlawed Sinn Fein
as well as their once-avowed enemies,
referred to, "the terrible, random nature
of death in war and civil conflict."
Some lessons have been learned, many more remain.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
