I visited PULSE yesterday... Had an appointment on the same street.
Sooooooo Sad. I stood there for a while, just breathing, my eyes looking over the WHOLE scene, tears silently streaming, such a vast loss... All the memorials-- pictures, flowers, and candles lots and lots of. Small toys, a small world-globe a student would use on their desk. Some stones. Posters, photos of people's faces, hand-signatures. And Black. Black porous privacy drape covering the chain-link fence. Seemed appropriate... Even the building itself was covered with black paint after they remodeled it from 2006. And, the PULSE sign, is black.... People coming as families, and couples, and me-- a single -- standing and paying deepest respects.
There was the elegant presence of our Police Force there, like Guardians of what happened. They were silent. They were Knowing, Connecting, and so Kind.
I sat afterwards at the Dunkin' Donuts shop there on the corner, and had a coffee and an Old Fashion donut. I looked out over the PULSE property from a first-hand perspective, in the body, seeing from the viewpoint of the many many cameras and reporters that had been there at that time.
I was mindful while I was there. I was the in-bodied present-physical grounding representative there/here, for soooo many around the world who gave good wishes, and who read my posts. Drinking, eating, like in a human ritual... the reality, Death, belongs to the material reality of us.
Was interesting to note the differences in bands of energies as I approached the more core parts of town, block by block by intersection and lights.
Our mayor, the council members, all the different kinds of first-responders-- they all did such a Magnificent job. I couldn't have been more satisfied and Proud of how they came together, TRULY One Heart and Pulse.
Kudos to the newscasters here also... I prayed for them-- that had to really hammer their own mortality, to be in the REAL mix of all of it-- Reporting the carnage AS "OUR" eye-witnesses at the scene, (not just locally, but for around the World). They ALL did a Fabulous job, and they are still doing it. *Heart*
