A sad day indeed when people watching a marathon are injured or die from a bomb blast.
Worse yet, when children are hurt or killed, or their parents fall victim right in front of their kids’ eyes.
A joyous occasion turns tragic in an instant
While the world watches from their television sets.
Part of the plan, no doubt.
The handy placement of cameras.
And yet…
A plethora of wheelchairs waiting for tired runners are enlisted for more sinister duty
and the triage team, waiting for those with complications from the race, shift to an emergency room
People helping people even when they are afraid or overwhelmed
The worst of us…
Challenging the best of us
To banish fear and demand life.
