Looking for da man
On Friday, at 7 PM, EST, we want everyone, everywhere, to step outside and light a candle for our country, and those murdered by those animals.

To show them that we are one, and can never be beaten, the way they tried to.

As you suggest, but it will be daylignt here and to the west of here.
 
AoA firts thanks for that wonderful idea... Those have been 20 minutes very ressourceful... It has let me think about how i'm lucky to be here in city so small that i have no fear from being attacked... Let me think how i'm lucky to not have lost somebody i loved there... Even if my city's small, my best friend lost one of her friends... and my friend's friends r also my friends... It let me think about how ur situation must be hard... I'm also happy that my mother came out with me (im only 15) and discussed about all those things with me. I had many thoughts during those 20 minutes... I'm in a windy place here, many times the flame came close to die, but always, it has come back stronger... It's like human nature (can i say this??? anyway thats the translation i make) So i urge all of u to do just like this flame and to dont give up... U'll came close to die, but u'll get out of this stronger all the time... I know im far from u all, but during those minutes i think i was closer to all of u that i will never be... It has bring me to clear up my mind, to think about how ur situation must be hard... I think i've never felt more alive than tonight... Playing and having fun can help to feel alive, but to clear up ur mind makes u feel how life is beautiful and fragile...

Again, thanks for that wonderful idea and all my sympathies and best wishes

In the very centre of a small market town in East Anglia, a candle now burns through the night. It stands under the sky, linking our resolve to yours.

It would not light with a lighter, for it was deep set in its own glass, and the flame would not reach. So I first lit another, ordinary, candle, and with this transfered the flame inside the glass. Somehow, I knew you'd appreciate this symbolism.
 
Almost 2 hours after the start, and they are still singing and walking the streets in my neighborhood. A very touching moment.
 
My wife and I went out at 7, and our street was full of people with flags and candles.

Many of us were deeply moved by the solidarity of our people, and the sorrow of us all, for our tremendous loss, and for the brave people who still look to save lives.

USA forever.
