A tragic event

Tragic. Senseless. Devastating. Unimaginable. There really are no words that adequately describe what occurred in a Connecticut elementary school on Friday. The massacre that left 26 people dead, 20 of them little children, leaves a gaping hole in all our hearts. looking for a way to honor those personally affected I attended a vigil on Saturday in down town silver spring. People cried, lit candles, sang and talked about remembering and taking action. there was a discussion about organizing a march on Washington on December 22 to demand that legislation be passed regarding the accessibility of guns. Many also brought up the need for better supports for people with mental illnesses. If you want to learn more about the march, Ed Weingart at MisterDudeDC@me.com
