If we were all a little more simple

One year ago today was one of the worst moments for the Amish community, and probably the worst for a specific Amish community. I find their rememberance interesting. They're not setting up a memorial. They're not agrondizing about their loss. Yes, they still hurt, but their peaceful acceptance and return to their lives I think is something we could all learn from.

This section particularly struck me:

Officials from Virginia Tech were also invited to attend. Four months after the massacre at that school, members of the Amish community traveled to Blacksburg, Virginia, to pass along a comfort quilt.

If we could all reach out a bit more like that...

hope, news
