Today is the anniversary of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. I’ll have some stuff to say later on, but in the meantime here’s a fascinating post on this horrific event by Eric Francis at Planet Waves.
Jude’s Threshold also has some interesting thoughts on the anniversary of the day the black rain fell.
Well, I didn’t MEAN IT but somehow, 36 years ago my husband and I picked HIROSHIMA DAY to get married.It was a delightful wedding day, on our favorite beach in ocean City New Jersey– you know, a hippie wedding, bare feet,etc.It’s a lot of years later and he is still my man..I am still recklessly in love witih him, and life is good. I spend some part of my day praying for the victims of Hiroshima Day every year.. one year, we spent our anniversary in hawaii and took part in a BON DANCE celebration .. blessings to all on my anniversary day!
I want to get married on the beach too (somewhere like Hawaii) and I was born in New Jersey! Coincidentally, August 6th is/was my Dad’s birthday! Also coincidentally, I am IN LOVE with a man with the same last name as yours, Kasian. The number 36 years is also coincidental, as this is our age. Yep, getting married would certainly be a blessing. You are very fortunate! I guess I’m just a hopeless romantic… living with reckless abandon.
Madeline — Happy Anniversary. Thanks for writing. I’ve got a more upbeat post on Hiroshima Day, about a little girl who is a symbol of peace: http://astrologymundo.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/sadako-sasaki-the-saint-of-hiroshima/
