From Sicco:
Hi Tracy..There is also Candle light Meditation/Prayer vigil at the triangle tonight..folks can signup for notices and directions by going here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/342496942489049/ We do these monthly vigils meditations in part for these, and all tragedies happening everywhere in the world too. This reflection/meditation includes and holds in awareness all human created suffering, and works towards inner disarmament, cultivating patience, wisdom, compassion, awareness, etc, which encourages and hopefully ripples out as outer disarmament.”
