It is the crowd..
The community gathered. Cheering, giving their energy through their presences, their voices as one, gathered in the bleachers, standing on the sidelines, waving banners, "Come on! You're doing well! Go Go GO!"
It is the crowd that lifts the players, like wings under their bodies, propelling them forward to do better than their best. It is the joyous crowd that crowns the team with support, "You did it, I am proud of you! Bravo!"
It was the faithful crowd…mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children, friends… those voices, of love and joy, that terror tried to silence.
But a cheering crowd cannot be silenced… every team that has ever been beaten knows that the crowd (fans) remains faithful and strong no matter what, and with that un-denying support, so does the team.
Love is like that.
Cheering faith, hope, and courage to win. We are one, brave and true, we will not be defeated by violence.
Let our prayers, actions, and voice run towards peace without being afraid or discouraged.
