Mass shootings, wars, holocaust . . . many more deaths of young men and women . . . when I think upon these types of incidents it makes me wonder -- what have we lost in these lives . . . the creativity that as a society we will never see . . .  if we could have touched these people with love instead of death . . . what would we have seen ?

I sometimes wonder

           if they had lived, lives touched by

                     love, death into life

Beautiful, David. What would have happened indeed. When I was small, I witnessed the funeral of a young genius in our town. The whole population was in mourning, he was loved greatly. Such great loss...Thank you for this.
