By Mr. E This piece is a little different from the others I've written in the sense I'm searching inwardly to find meaning to what is taking place outwardly, within this world of ours. On Tuesday morning, the unthinkable took place in our town and many of us, myself included, were left attempting to find understanding, peace, and forgiveness.
