How is everyone in this group holding up? It was not an easy week.

5. Leopold's restaurant in Mumbai/Bombay and the Atocha train station in Madrid

are two places which became sites of terror attacks that I had spent a fair amount of time in the 90s. It definitely brings the threat closer to home when one is familiar with the setting of an attack.

But in answer to the OP, I just returned from a very inspirational UU service, which manages to be intellectually stimulating and spiritually uplifting in equal measure and simultaneously. Elsewhere, I can find one or the other separately, but the UU Fellowship is the best place I know to find them together. Wise and healing remarks about Paris were part of the sermon. This was something of an antidote to the polarizing rhetoric we've seen here and throughout the blogosphere in the past week.
