Life rises

Catching up after a lovely holiday to Shikoku with TeaLuke

Today we visited Hiroshima; the Atomic Bomb dome, and the Peace Memorial Museum. There aren't words to describe how I felt as I walked around these sights, as I learned more and more about what had happened on that day in 1945. I have the strongest conviction though that something has gone wrong.

As we left the museum, however, Luke summed up well what it was to be in that place over sixty years later: "Hiroshima was beautiful and the sun was shining and children were playing on the grass. That was
something." Life rises.
