POPE JOHN XXIII (POPE RONCALLI).
Pray for love, pray for peace.
In addition to all the biggie news sites (CNN, NY Times, and BBC
News, as well as Wired News, Salon, and so on), we've been tuning
in to personal sites for first-hand accounts of the tragedy --
hoping, I guess, to contextualize that endlessly looping shot of
plane hitting tower with the testimonials of individual
experiences. At these sites you'll find a wealth of photos, links,
and incredibly insightful coverage of what people, extremely
well-written and compassionate people, have been thinking and doing
in the aftermath.
WARNING: Some of these sites feature entries written moments after
eye-witnessing these gruesome events, something that's enormously
painful and humbling and chilling to read. You may also encounter
some swears -- understandable under the circumstances. So if you're
little, or if you're feeling too fragile to absorb more sadness,
you may want to pass. Also, due to the amount of traffic these
sites have been getting, you might get access errors -- just try
back later.

I hope that you find something of value in this list of sites.
I suggest to everyone reading this small contribution of mine to join me in sending healing thoughts to those families and to the nations in need. I do a meditation every morning at 8. Make that your time to briefly think about them. (You can do it even when you are getting ready for work, driving, or having breakfast).
There are still trying times to come for everyone on earth, maybe a few loving thoughts could help to make the world a better place.
