In Latin, Alma Mater means nourishing mother. NIU was my "nourishing mother" in a multitude of ways. The education I received there in the late 1970's made possible for me, a divorced mother, and my children, a quality of life and standard of living often not possible for single parents. Even now nearly 30 years after I graduated in 1979 I continue to reap the benefits of all that I received there.
Yesterday, my "nourishing mother" was horrifically wounded, and I grieve for her as she grieves for her children. I hope to write about the shooting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois in the context of the Mars-Pluto opposition in the next day or two...or week maybe.
For now, I extend my condolences, sympathy, thoughts, and prayers to the victims, their families, and to the entire NIU community.
Peace to you--Doreen
