We are all “a part of the main”

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
Some friends of mine lost 3 family members over the weekend and I just found out. Though I didn’t know them at all my heart aches. It is all I can think of. It is a horrible tragedy. I know that all I can do is pray for those in pain so I do that and offer my silent support.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

-John Donne

To all who have been effected you are in my constant thoughts and prayers. I wish I could do more.
Here are some sites for more information so that you can offer your support and prayers too.
