This is for the families and friends of the victims in the horrific crime that happened yesterday at Virginia Tech University, it reminds us all that beauty and life are very fragile and must never be taken for granted. My heart and prayers go out to each and every one who is grieving from this unspeakable tragedy. Sincerly......John

very beautiful John - I was devasted when I saw the headlines in my paper today - it is hard to imagine how someone can do something so terrible!

A most beautiful tribute John, and your words are so true.

Such horror is unimaginable, and almost unbearable to contemplate.

How beautiful and heartbreaking this rose is, John. A touching tribute to these poor souls. These massacres are horrific, we had 2 in Montreal in the past, I don't understand these crimes.

Thanks John for posting this! I think you speak for most of us here on this one! Here's hoping no one ever has to post a tribute like this again. Awesome job buddy!! A positive made from a negative!

A beautiful image and sentiment. I love the colors. I was actually thinking nostalgically about the world as a result of this event when I posted my In a Perfect World. As a school teacher who faces this increasing threat (and I run a program at our school called Safe School Ambassadors), I have been quite affected by the event. I just don't understand why it is happening.

Dear Lawd in heaven you have outdone yourself this time. That is gorgeous. And, what a wonderful, thoughtful thing to do. Definitely a keeper.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Due to the recent slow down of the site, my comments and thank you's have been few as it was very time-consuming...will catch up ASAP...meanwhile, a group thank you to all and keep up the great work everyone.

Lovely work for a tragic situation. I hope that all those who are affected by violence at VA Tech, in Iraq and well beyond find some peace and that someday soon the world gets serious about reducing the needless cycles.
