This is Martin, 8. He died in the Boston bombing yesterday. He was at the finish line with his family, waiting for his dad to cross. His mother and little sister were catastrophically injured. He was the student of Rachel Moo, who shared this image.
The poster says: NO MORE HURTING PEOPLE. PEACE.
Martin created this poster to convey his thoughts after Trayvon Martin was killed.
His message resonates powerfully today.
I'm sharing this as a way of tribute to his too-brief, but immeasurably valuable life by following his example.

I want to share this message today as well:

He was only 8 years old, 8!!!!!! And, he already had compassion for his fellow man. He already knew that people hurt people. He already wanted it to stop. He already craved PEACE!!! And yet, violence came into his world and took his precious life. Can we PLEASE learn from him! This beautiful boy begged the world to love itself.....will the world ever hear him?
ReplyDeleteIndeed. He has touched many hearts in the last 24 hours, with a lasting legacy. I'm with you...I sure hope we start to learn from these children.
