BRUSSELS ATTACKS

I woke up this morning, going through my phone messages, Facebook and Twitter, to yet another attack on innocent people going about their business.

At the time of this writing, details are still under investigation.

All I know is what I have included below.

“It Is What It Is” will remain “closed” today in respect and solidarity with the victims of this heinous attack …. another one.

Any activity will be re-blogging of important information.

Another senseless killing of innocent people.

My heart aches.

Humanity is lost.

We have lost our way.

What We Know and Don’t Know

What happened?

Two explosions, at least one caused by a suicide attack, in the departure hall at Brussels Airport killed at least 14 people just before 8 a.m. local time, or 3 a.m. Eastern time.

About an hour later, an explosion at the Maelbeek subway station in central Brussels, not far from the European Union’s core institutions, killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 106.

Was it terrorism?

Officially, Prime Minister Charles Michel of Belgium said there was no information about whether the attacks were related to the arrest last week of the main surviving suspect in the assaults in and around Paris last year that killed 130 people.

Why Brussels?

In addition to being the seat of European Union government and the capital of Belgium, Brussels has become a focus of counterterrorism investigations, notably since the Paris attacks.

Officials have also been concentrating on a particular Brussels neighborhood in an investigation of an Islamic State recruitment network.

Who did it?

No claims of responsibility have been reported.

What is Brussels like now?

The city, with a population of about one million, is virtually shut down. The Belgian prime minister is asking residents to “avoid all movement” as the authorities brace for the possibility of additional violence.

Flights to and from Brussels Airport, the city’s main international hub, are suspended.

All subway lines on the Brussels network are closed, as are the Eurostar trains that connect Brussels to London and the Thalys trains that link the city to other European capitals.

The European Union complex is locked down. Only employees with badges can approach the building.

YAWN OR GROWL? YOUR CHOICE ….

BLACK CAT

A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place
your sight can knock on, echoing; but here
within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze
will be absorbed and utterly disappear:

just as a raving madman, when nothing else
can ease him, charges into his dark night
howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels
the rage being taken in and pacified.

She seems to hide all looks that have ever fallen
into her, so that, like an audience,
she can look them over, menacing and sullen,
and curl to sleep with them. But all at once

as if awakened, she turns her face to yours;
and with a shock, you see yourself, tiny,
inside the golden amber of her eyeballs
suspended, like a prehistoric fly.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

My friend Veronica …. needs all the help she can get!!

~~October 20, 2014~~ 

In her own words … 

“I had a car accident a few weeks ago.

The person who hit my car was on his cell phone. He never saw me and t-boned me on the driver’s side, making my car spin.The person that hit me has a minimum PIP coverage.

Between his insurance and mine, there is not enough to cover the cost of all medical expenses. I’m unemployed at this moment and I don’t have any medical insurance as an alternative to cover these expenses. My immediate family and friends are already helping me as much as they can.

In addition, I have a previous medical condition and due to the accident it has aggravated my injury seriously. This previous injury is the reason for my unemployment; my doctor declared me disabled a few of years ago.

Due to this car accident, the hospital bill is estimated around $77,000.00 and it could be more. This amount doesn’t include any medications, orthopedic equipment, which I am will need at home, doctors’ office appointments, and physical therapy.

A friend mentioned this site as an alternative for me at this difficult time in my life. Any help I could receive will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your support. God Bless,

Veronica.”
