Miracle

Watching the story today on the US Airways Plane Crash that sucessfully landed in the Hudson River without any deaths made me sit down, take a deep breath and think. I was on a US Airways plane 10 days ago and it felt eerie. With quick thinking the pilot saved the lives of all the people and just missed the George Washington bridge by 900 feet. Wow. Seeing the rescue workers help and the outpouring of compassion, I was brought back the the simple realization that life is precious, people are generally good, and we must live each day fully and with compassion for all around you.

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - Buddha
