They Were Babies

I have been silent lately, busy with the end of semester.  But what happened in Newtown, CT today can't go unacknowledged.  I know no more and perhaps less than you do.  I don't want more details because those that have been revealed have been terrible enough.  This I do know:  most of those who died were babies.  Babies.  Square-headed, pouched-bellied, knee-hugging babies.

Only one event has taken me back to church for solace since I left 40+ years ago.  One was 9/11; this may be the other.

I leave you Charlie Pierce.
