Happy Valentines Day--the day after...

Had great intentions of posting this last evening, but didn't do so well trying to add a link--wanted to share a site I visit from time to time that currently has a little valentine video that gives a flavor of what they're into: PostSecrets
(Go to the second item on 2/11 and click on the "watch the new PostSecret Valentine Video on MySpace" link.) Besides that, wander through the site--there has been a fair amount written & talked about this project; it's a pretty simple but humbling collection.

But meanwhile today dawned in the most non-valentines way with yet another school shooting...truly a heartbreaker. So senseless. So vulnerable. What secrets are in the hearts of those with the triggers? What would they have written on the postcard? Why don't they write those secrets instead of what they choose to do? What can possibly help the survivors--or the next group that will be at risk? I think Joe is right: you feel concerned about too much focus or media coverage; giving too much credence for the next potential shooter...but how can you not mourn?


Here's to finding some peace for those hearts that are surely breaking tonight...

Thanks for sharing the link. I spent an hour there this morning and now I feel compelled to check out the books.
