Ce drapeau sera en berne ce matin. Notre joie de vivre aussi. This flag will be flying at half-mast this morning, I'm sure. The photo shows the rue Soufflot, where I worked for several years, decades ago, in happier times. That's the Luxembourg Palace on the other side of the boulevard Saint-Michel in the Latin Quarter.
We can't let this stop us from living. Like the song after the attack in Côte d'Ivoire: Même pas peur!
ReplyDeleteI have friends in Nice and I must say, it was a tense night not hearing from them and knowing if they were fine or not.
ReplyDeleteThey are fine. They decided to stay home and did not go on their usual evening walk.
This is so atrocious, so inhuman and as it is so against human nature ( imo) I can only hope that the response to this is strong and severe. That is what it will take to stop this/deter these attacks.
hard to know what to do to prevent these lone loonies from such destruction....sad & scary
ReplyDeleteBoth the USA and France are flying their flags at half mast now. What is going to happen to our countries if we can't make the violence stop? What is the answer? I just know we will go on and find a way somehow.
ReplyDeleteDitto. No words to express the outrage and disgust.
ReplyDeleteI am at a loss for words. Prayers for the victims and their families.
ReplyDeleteSo heartbreaking that these things can happen. I try to think of the millions of good people who try, everyday, to put goodness and kindness and joy into the world. But still....Sadder than I can say.
ReplyDeleteGood words, Thickethouse. I read on another blog that the words "hold on" are helpful. We'll hold on to each other for a better day.
