Would it be way over-simplistic to say that really, everything comes down to love? Even the smallest simplest loving gesture can change someone forever. When I was overwhelmed with the awfulness of what happened in Boston, that is what I kept coming back to... what little thing can I do to brighten someone's day today? The butterfly effect.<br />Beautiful images, Sarah! So much colour and life! The world is filled with as much light as it is filled with darkness.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919469476451579082.post-70623918506974796112013-05-02T18:57:03.152-07:002013-05-02T18:57:03.152-07:00Wow, wow, wow, Sarah... you have captured the col...Wow, wow, wow, Sarah... you have captured the colour and beauty of this festival and brought it right into to my home. There is so much sorrow in the world of late and over the last decade or more I have been amazed at what we in this seemingly war free era have watched unfold in terms of terrorism and acts of violence.

I felt like I was there.<br />You have summed up well what many feel. I hadn't realised they were celebrating in Boston at the death and injury of those two young, very misguided men. That is surely sad. Youth is so full of ideals because they don't feel their own vulnerability at that age and so their choices are questionable. The US, like NZ, has a short history since the occupation by white man and they should defer to cultures that have been around for thousands of years and show respect even if it is not always returned.Suzanne Perazzinihttp://www.strandsofmylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919469476451579082.post-41428585865769443032013-04-26T04:22:25.228-07:002013-04-26T04:22:25.228-07:00Thank you Relyn.

What makes people act like that? What hurt have they suffered in the country? Have they been made to feel like second-class citizens? Nobody starts off as a socalled terrorist!

The power of it fazed me. I am one of those Eastern European small kids caught up a long time ago by the circumstances you describe. I look at the world now from the comparative 'safety' of Australia. I look at the obvious stark contrasts you so brilliantly present. I wish I knew what to do in any logical way but to put out my hand to the person standing next to me, whatever colour, whatever race . . . there have been too many Bostons!

This situation is so charged with raw emotion right now that it is difficult to process all of the information flowing across the country. My heart goes out to all the innocents but any mass chanting just scares me because of how I fear so many will perceive it. I think I worry about the perception more than the reality of current events.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287491309379401724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919469476451579082.post-3414676096035086982013-04-22T16:29:04.896-07:002013-04-22T16:29:04.896-07:00I can imagine it is so interesting to see your vie...I can imagine it is so interesting to see your viewpoints shift and change as you hear insights into a culture that you are connected to through marriage.

I love their smiles and costumes...just wonderful!<br /><br />The events in Boston were tragic and so very sad. I didn't see anything wrong with the chants of USA...not when you remember that people were killed, maimed and lives ruined simply because they were Americans. I think the chants meant that we will seek justice for the man who ran the race and lost his 8 year old son, his daughter a leg, and his wife parts of her brain. Justice for 14 people who lost limbs and remain in the hospital...and over 100 others who were hurt. We should rejoice when a terrorist is caught so he can't hurt others. <br /><br />I just bought a steak today...I'm jotting down this recipe to try!

I believe that history repeats itself because many people do not bother with history. They think all those dates and names of long-dead people are boring. But The history of our individual countries makes us who we are. Before marrying an American, I never realized how much hate the word America can elicit. I do not know why and it bewilders me.
