Random Acts of Violence

The news of an attack in the holiest city in India, Varanasi seems in keeping with this lousy week. Random violence always strikes a cord with me, whether it be 9-11, USS Cole, Madrid, Bali, Casablanca, London, Manila (the one that I was closest to), Damascus, or now Varanasi. After I went back to help with my friend here in Kunming, Chesa continued on around India and made a last minute trip to Varanasi, so it makes it feel more personal. Besides Bali and Damascus, I have personal connections to each of those cities and it just sickens me every time. Will this week get better yet?! Please?!
