Yesterday in real time, 2013, April 15th to be specific...we were attacked...again. The overwhelm of the media, the pictures, the crying, the blood, the fear, the angst, the loss, the grief can easily sweep us all into a very dark place and we can't let that happen. We need to be able to find reasons to wake up and function and breathe. Without diminishing the pain and the loss...we still need to be giving human beings in the world...as crazy as the world may be. So in our own pain, embracing our own losses, we need to give. That is what this entire exercise is about...stepping outside of ourselves and reaching out to someone who may be in even more pain, who may be more frightened and who may be at risk of not breathing.
I am reprising a post that I published a few weeks ago. It is relevant today. If it does not strike a cord in you, look through the previous 85 days if you need to find inspiration, a reason to give, a reason to step outside of your own darkness and breath life, light and hope into someone else s life.

Give and when life is difficult give even more...
