This is a very sad day for all West Virginians.
Our hearts go out to our miners' families.

- Welcome to the country! Drive gently. Slow down. If someone's rudely chewing your bumper, find a wide spot and pull off that one-lane road you've been on for far too many miles. Leave the hurry to others. Invite them to go around. It's all about the journey, not the destination. It's time to explore the things you've always loved and renew your joy in just being alive. That's what I'm doing. My joy is a small farm, deep in the Appalachians. Its bounty provides self-sufficiency to two "seniors." Together, my husband, MM, and I, milk a cow, and grow, tend, and preserve a big garden annually. Fruit and nut trees and berries add to the cornucopia; toss in a few egg layers, three pigs, seven cows, and four canine helpers. It adds up to a joyful, sustainable life! We eat locally--as in right here on the farm!--healthfully and seasonally. We gather firewood in the summer to burn in the winter. Each day is a beautiful new adventure. My name is Elora and I'm so glad you stopped by for a visit! I hope you'll enjoy my photos and thoughts as I take you along with me on my daily journey about the farm, just off the one-lane road.
Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear this news, Elora. Sending you, the miners and their families love and light.
ReplyDeleteElora, My soul feels for the families of the workers lost in the explosion. Their hearts must be broken into hundreds of pieces. Miners lay their life on the line every day as shown by the many accidents we have witnessed across the nation. Solutions to mining disasters seem almost impossible to resolve. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow West Virginian, I am deeply saddened by the loss of so many, and keep the whole community in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteIf all safety precautions and systems were working properly, I wonder how this tragedy could have happened in our so-called modern mines of today.
