Running is a difficult sport, one that doesn’t get enough credit most of the time. There’s always a reason to quit: muscles scream pain, air can’t find the lungs, the distance too far to overcome. But what the people of Boston showed is that we must never stop running. Together, we will always cross the finish line.

Good will always triumph evil.
The bad guy must lose.
We must never quit fighting.
These truths self-evident need reminding following the sobering tragedy in Boston, when two explosives detonated in quick succession near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday. At least 144 people were injured and three killed, including an 8-year-old, according to the Boston Globe.
Catastrophes like this one seem to have become normal in our lives during this modern era, as the shootings at the Aurora, Col. movie theater, the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and this attack at the Boston Marathon all have happened within the past year, their occurrence seemingly as routine as the changing of seasons. These attacks are intentionally insidious, hurting its victims and us as a nation as much psychologically as they have physiologically. All these places slightly tarnished: A movie theater, a haven of entertainment and relaxation; a school, a microcosm of growth and protection; and now one of the oldest sporting events in America, a race of determination and perseverance, ended by explosions before some could even cross the finish line.
Those that saw the end ever approaching as the clock read 4:09:43 when that first, fiery bomb detonated, were not the elite runners; they were not the ones who ran for money or glory. They ran for the satisfaction of completing a feat so great few even attempt it. True to the American spirit, they raced to overcome an obstacle, to prove to everyone the impossible is accomplishable. They were those not of strong legs, but of powerful hearts.
Sports should do that: Bring us together to reflect the courage of the human spirit, not drive us apart by the cruelty capable of man. I think of Florida State football games, regardless of what’s happening in our lives, and how they unite this town together with a bond irreplaceable. We dress in war paint, celebrate and be merry with friends and family and all root for one, common goal. It is our Boston Marathon in a way, sacred to us in a way only we can understand. My heart weeps for those in Boston, who had that taken away from them Monday as this black smog hangs above their event which should only bring joy.
These tragedies alter our perceptions; our world shades darker, we feel more alone, the temperature in the room drops a few degrees. But among the dark clouds which fly overhead, there is always a silver lining.
During these truly awful times, I remind myself of a quote, one that seems silly some days, but felt essential yesterday.
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping,’” Mr. Rogers said.
And I did. I found common people leap the barrier between street and sidewalk following the first explosion, attempting to offer any help they could. I found a cop saving a child, fleeing the danger with the child in his arms. I found so many people donating blood, that Red Cross informed people they didn’t need any more donations. I found the people of Boston offer their homes to everyone they could, writing contact info on a Google Word document. I found restaurants provide free food. I found even a corporate giant like Google create technology so people could find or alert loved ones of their location. Most of all, I found people prove good humans will always outnumber bad ones, and we will always triumph over them.
Running is a difficult sport, one that doesn’t get enough credit most of the time. There’s always a reason to quit: muscles scream pain, air can’t find the lungs, the distance too far to overcome. But what the people of Boston showed is that we must never stop running. Together, we will always cross the finish line.

"Zen" means "to think about anything" and "arrive at the contemplation of". The purpose of the mini-garden of Zen is to give you the "feeling of the moment", freeing up mind from life's fleeting domestic troubles.
According to Eastern philosophy Buddhism, Zen Garden is quintessence symbolizes the excitement and serenity that can give a sense of grandeur to the practicing and the balance through the contemplation of stones and sculptures.

.....item 3a).... Nick of Time (The Twilight Zone) ...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... en.wikipedia.org/
"Nick of Time" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.
Episode no.Season 2
Episode 43
Original air date November 18, 1960
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_of_Time_(The_Twilight_Zone)
Plot
When Don and Pat Carter's automobile breaks down in Ridgeview, Ohio, they decide to have lunch at the Busy Bee Cafe while they wait. The booth they sit in has a fortune telling machine on the table that answers yes or no questions for a penny each. Don asks the "mystic seer" if he is going to get a promotion at work. The card says that it has been decided in his favor. When Don calls the office, he discovers that the seer was right. Because of this initial success, Don asks the seer more and more questions.
Pat begins to recognize that Don is taking the seer too seriously. Based on the seer's predictions, Don believes it is unsafe to leave the diner until after 3 p.m. Pat convinces him to leave a few minutes before 3, but the couple is almost struck by a car while crossing the street. A nearby clock shows it is 3 p.m. After they calm down, Don wants to go back to the cafe for more answers. However, two women are sitting at their booth, so Don and Pat wait at the front counter.
Pat wants proof that the seer is legitimate, pointing out that it was Don who had brought up the matter of precisely 3 p.m. After reclaiming their booth, Don immediately asks the seer more questions. One of the things he wants to know is whether their car will be fixed by the end of the day. The seer answers in the affirmative, and, as if on cue, the mechanic steps into the diner to tell Don that his car is fixed.
The breaking point comes when Don wants the seer to tell him where they're going to live and asks the seer every conceivable yes/no question to arrive at that information. Pat tries to break the spell the seer has over Don. After a persuasive speech from Pat, Don apologizes and then announces directly to the mystic seer that they're leaving to go do what they please. After their cautious but uneventful exit to their car and out of town, a slightly older couple enters the diner. The couple is noticeably beleaguered and distraught. Approaching the same mystic seer, the man first asks the seer if they can ask more questions. After receiving an apparently affirmative answer, the man asks a series of questions including, "Do you think we might leave Ridgeview today?" The couple is obviously deflated by the answers to this question and others and, unlike the now free Don and Pat, will remain trapped by their obsession to the seer's "counsel."

'These runners just finished and now they don't have legs': Witnesses recount war zone at end of Boston Marathon as bombs left race course littered with limbs of 25-30 people
By LYDIA WARREN, ANNETTE WITHERIDGE and MICHAEL ZENNIE
PUBLISHED: 15:28 EST, 15 April 2013 | UPDATED: 11:06 EST, 16 April 2013

'Every asset of the commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal government is either here or coming here,' he added.
CBS reported that Rep. Bill Keating confirmed there were two unexploded devices found - one at a hotel in Copley Square and another at an undisclosed location, possibly beneath bleachers.
In an interview with ABC, former police chief Bill Bratton said that as well as the chaos from the injuries, 'you have the compounding factor of dealing with unidentified packages'.
He said he expected police to be receiving numerous calls from concerned residents, as there were reports that as many as three hotels were being evacuated as a precaution.
ABC News reported that there were at least three reported packages, with one controlled explosion having been carried out.
'You have to investigate them all,' he said. 'That's the reality. [There's a] heightened sense of awareness.
[Police] are guaranteed to be getting some calls on public transportation. Every one of these things will be have to be looked at.'

There were also 400 Massachusetts National Guardsmen at the marathon to beef up the security.
Police are also asking for anyone with video of the explosions to contact them to help with the probe.
'This is a horrific day in Boston,' Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said in a statement. 'My thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured.
'Our focus is on making sure that the area around Copley Square is safe and secured. I am asking everyone to stay away from Copley Square and let the first responders do their jobs.'
Obama praised the first responders for acting 'heroically' as he addressed the nation just after 6pm.
'Michelle and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers,' he said. 'We don‘t yet have all the answers but we do know local people have been wounded, some gravely.
'We still do not know who did this or why and people should not jump to conclusions before we have the facts,' he added.
