Remembering Columbine and the Other Violent Tragedies

It has been very difficult for me to write "cherry" bloggs the last few months with the political ups and downs, but even more so in the last few weeks.
After teaching for 40 years, the most disturbing and sad times in my life was how to explain to myself and my students who asked "Why?" Why Columbine ?, Why 9-11 ?, Why Sandy Hook? Now, I know my fellow teachers are dealing with Parkland. There are no easy answers. Though, I am positive that research would show it has something to do with the child not believing in their-selves, their gifts and not finding their spiritual selves. Of us not believing we all are of one KINGDOM, not believing we are one with all life.
 I also believe there is no reason why any one of us needs an automatic assault rifle. Don't tell me you need such a gun to put food on the table.  Indigenous people in other lands use food gathering in forests, a hook and fishing pole or a  net. No person who believes in the 2nd amendment can possibly think that it is more important than the Declaration of Independence- all men (people) are created equal-they deserve a life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness..This is about our children and the world's children. And how could ANYONE think even an arsenal of assault weapons could protect them from even one home evasion at the right time or against globally a nuclear bomb. Please listen to this pod cast.
