366 Days of 2012, Day 222 - Candle Light Parade

On the 5th of August a stranger opened file on peaceful humans in prayer.

I will never understand the inhumanity that we see in events like these. Tonight I witnessed how this event on the other side of the planet has been felt here in my home city of Adelaide.

A candlelight parade of both Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike, families and individuals converged this evening on Victoria Square to pay tribute to their brothers and sisters who tragically died in last week's shooting in Wisconsin, U.S.A. They also humbly request we all pray for the health of the wounded police officer who attempted to save lives during the shooting.

I was humbled this evening to observe this occasion and glimpse a little of their pain.
