I know that the bombings at the Boston Marathon have affected everyone in the world. People in w/d are especially sensitive to acts of violence.
We also are saddened by the suffering of people in the big Iran earthquake. It seems like our whole planet got shaken yesterday.
Regarding the Boston bombings, I want to point out that far *fewer* people were injured that one might have expected. This was also true on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings were much emptier than usual early that morning because it was the first day of the school year in New York and many parents were taking their children to their first day of class.
There has been some research that suggests that in most plane or train accidents, there are fewer passengers on board than there normally are on that route at that time in the schedule.
So, it seems likely that we *did* get help and many people *were* protected.
Let us send healing and protective thoughts around the world. Or pray for further help from all the forces of love and compassion. So that the most good possible can come from these events.
