The unbearable “Sound of silence” - #sierre

On March 14, 22 children and 6 adults lost their precious lives in an accident in Sierre, Switzerland.

Language is not a barrier when hearing the unbearable sound of silence.  A country divided by language stands united in tragedy, the tragedy of 28 lives taken away from their families and friends in a purposeless accident.

Belgium was completely silenced at 11AM today, March 16, national day of mourning.

Will we remember the true value of life when noise takes over again?  Will we be able to distinguish the important from the futile any better after this confrontation with real life tragedy?  And most importantly, will relatives and friends of the deceased be able to listen to the sound of life again some day… ?

All my best to the people affected by this incomprehensible event.

(my thoughts go out especially to Kirsten and the kids)
