The image and idea was taken from Wil Wheaton’s blog. As he said, this event just reminds me — and him and many others, I’m sure — of 9/11. There’s a sense of hopelessness and sadness that goes with a terrorist attack, but also a sense that we must remember what brings us together as people. I remember thinking in the days after 9/11 about how powerful a feeling it was… that the world had come together around New York. May we, as the people of the world, offer the comfort we can to the citizens of Madrid. You are not alone.

And perhaps we can all say a prayer to whomever or whatever we hold holy… as we ask for peace.

Ahora nosotros oramos que el mundo encuentre paz y justicia
