I invite you to participate in a simple project to honor the people lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School.  I am committing to 27 acts to honor each life.  I would like to invite masses of people to participate in this and we can post the acts here anonymously.  The acts can be small-- making cookies for your neighbor-- or large-- let your imagination soar.

an excerpt from Stephen Jay Gould after 9-11:

..." Thus, in what I like to call the Great Asymmetry, every spectacular incident of evil will be balanced by ten thousand acts of kindness, too often unnoted and invisible as the “ordinary” efforts of a vast majority.
Thus, we face an imperative duty, almost a holy responsibility, to record and honor the victorious weight of these innumerable little kindnesses, when an unprecedented act of evil so threatens to distort our perception of ordinary human behavior. . . ."
