vigil.

interrupting the spring break photos. photos here from the vigil for the virginia tech massacre victims. it's been almost a week. the mourning week, as declared by president bush.

the sun sets as i walked to the red square. seems such a beautiful evening.


the candle in the wind.

after the vigil itself, where 2 men, including the president of UW's "student union", called ASUW here, spoke to beautiful organ music coming from denny hall. then a moment's silence as the denny hall clock tower chimed 33 times. people were sobbing and crying and tearing, even when they didn't know the victims. somehow the bond as college students is so strong among everyone. their loss is like our own.

a group of people started to gather in a circle after the vigil.

prayers. people of all faith, all nationalities, all ages came together. songs, prayers, experiences.




america, the land of the free. and the price of freedom.

may there be comfort in every trial. light in every darkness. peace in every tribulation.
