Sinister: I can't think of anything appropriate

[William Harris]

Dearest Comrades,

Before I go home from work to attempt (in some way) to make today's events 
somehow seem real (for now they seem sadly like a bad movie) I ran across 
the following quote.

"You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No 
one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They 
KNOW it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to 
political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's 
always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt."
- Robert M. Pirsig in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

Of course no one knows (yet) who did it and I don't necessarily mean to 
imply it was a religious group, but I thought this was apt anyway in light 
of "the troubles" in N. Ireland, the bombings in Isreal, etc. This is a cold 
and hollow day.

The mind boggles.

Prayers and condolensences to those affected by today's doings. I must go 
home now to see if I have been...

Bill
