Terror in London
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4659093.stm
Hard to work up enthusiasm to write about mundane events when something like the bombing in London happens. I think about the people involved, and especially the families of those who died, and my heart goes out to them. The death and destruction is wearying to the soul. And that's not even counting the people dying in Africa because they're not (insert adjective here). Or those who'll die from suicide bombers in Iraq today. Or the bombers themselves, who are able to convince themselves that killing themselves and as many bystanders as they can is somehow right, or justified, or whatever.
As I sort of implied earlier, I do have other things to write about. And on further consideration, some of them might not be all that mundane. But I'm just not up to writing about them now. After I've had a chance to process a bit more, I'll post again. Til then.
