Lorrie Moore wrote “Every day there was something new to mourn and something old to celebrate” but in this age of emotional channel surfing, I wonder if we’ve forgotten how to do either. Is it because the onslaught of bad news has become too overwhelming or because it’s too easy to change our Twitter icons to black and keep consuming? When James Foley, Steven Sotloff and David Haines were beheaded on TV, I was reminded of that familiar, shocking sorrow and was filled with compassion for the mothers of the journalists who were beheaded. I’ve been thinking of them ever since but it seems like everyone else has forgotten. That Shirley Sotloff and Diane Foley lost their sons was an incomprehensible sorrow and I cannot imagine how it felt to see their deaths in the media around the clock on news channels and YouTube. On one hand, the whole world witnessed their loss and was shocked alongside them. On the other hand, it seemed easily dismissed, like we moved on too quickly to resume dumping ice over our heads, and then raced to buy the new i-phone. ~ A.L.C. *The latest on The Manifest-Station by A.L.C.
