I was going to put up a new gallery of photos I took today (Thursday) at downtown Detroit's outdoor ice skating rink, but how can I post joyful images when there is such sorrow in Pakistan. I still can't believe that Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated. She was so alive, a person who was doing exactly what she believed in. I'm sure Ms. Bhutto realized she was putting herself at risk when she returned to Pakistan in October, but she did it anyway. And now she and at least twenty others are dead.

For us here at PBase, actions like this just make it more and more clear how desperately the world needs to learn from us how to live in peace. Let us not be discouraged by events like those in Pakistan. Instead, let us commit ourselves to shine our light ever more brightly into the darkest corners of our world. May our cameras show the truth as we see it, and may our hearts be open to all.
