 There are so many terrible, tragic events that come into our lives that simply defy understanding, that very easily bring us to question our core beliefs.

In times like these, words fail, and the only sign of hope is the comforting touch of a caring person, or the heartfelt compassion of a passing stranger.

Take a look around you, and take a moment to be grateful for what you have, and take another moment to reach out to someone else. I truly believe that it is only when you are giving freely of yourself and your talents that you will find the peace that passes all understanding.

Yes words can fail... Its gotta be hard to tell the news in the worse cases.. But we can change things by sending out messages ever so suttle like yours with a image so simple yet peaceful.
I like your words, here I wanted to share some of mine from awhile back...

When one dissappointment happens...
The doors start to open.
Prayers may seem to be too late.
Things in life happen because of fate.
There are some people that are strong.
There are some that are just wrong.
Its a strange cycle of life.
The media is a mix of news with way to much hype.
There could be more helpful resources shared in the news..
Stop the focus of horrific events and crime to view.
Share more ways in the middle about preventions.
Research and study to start a contention.
The reward for good works will be obvious when there is no blattering.
I challenge those that are soul savers and flattering.
Become more familiarized with every living thing in your environment.
Get to know your world and step out of your self absorbent.
Then find what it is that you do best.
Communicate and network even with new guest.
Share the positive side of yourself to the negative.
Take a risk and dare not to be defensive.
Its about the chance of asking.
This can be done while you are multitasking.
Advertise with diversity.
There is assistance in a community's local university.
Come together with love.
Even if you are not a artist, find that spark and rise above..
Read the book called Changing the World through art and song.
Become a friend to the outsiders and those that feel like they dont belong.
Let peace work to gather all the nations together..
Mother Nature will accept the love and generate better weather.
Let hope and desire be a reason for prayer.
Ask for the knoweledge that makes you aware.
This is the time to show how much you care.
Even the most powerful leaders need support.
When majority rules dont take it to court.
Give it a chance.
Take a stand...
Make a difference.
It starts with adolescence.
The newborn babies that grow up to be old and wise.
Is enough to change the worlds prisons as harsh punishment should equal to the acts of criminalise.
Before there are victims change how crime is censored.
Let the victims of our world be remembered.
This is my message of hope.
Held together stronger than the strings in rope.
My family, friends, and neighbors including strangers...
Will be a target for me to share the warnings that will stop all dangers.
America: The Big Cash Cow , a work created by youthful artist inspired me.
My candle burns for Tiffany Souers and other victims as their souls should be free..

My prayer..
Daily I pray...
Lord watch over all of the most precious children, keeping them safe as they play.
Help the people with wicked thoughts stop from acting upon fantasies harming the innocense and taking their life away.
Give these victomizers another chance before they become criminals, to open their hearts and allow them to finally be able to get help as they share their thoughts and wont be afraid for anything they say.
Guide us all into a stong link of a chain.
Help us to share love with the weakest day by day.
Allow us to have the peace to stop violence so we will all be ok.
In your name I pray.
Amen.

Not only a beautiful image, but also a very true words you wrote below the photo. Often we take people around us for granted and we don't realize what we have until it's too late. Thank you for sharing.
