No Words

A wooden cross and flowers mark the site of an accident where one of Australia's top female cyclists, Amy Gillett, was killed and her five national teammates were seriously injured when a car ploughed into them as they trained for the Thueringen Rundfahrt.

Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive-
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it's in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Louise Yaxley, 23 - now stabilised, but her condition is still considered "serious" (which is one level down from "critical");

But I have the song recorded in my windows media player, but I dont know how to put it to my blog because for embedding is neccesary a link. Do you know how to transform from the player to the site? Thx!

Jaroslav, when I first saw and heard the song on your blog I was brougth to tears. I worked all day trying to figure out how you were able to get WMP on your site with that song, which by the way is not currently on iTunes, so I'm out today to buy the CD if I can find it.

To answer your question, I'm not sure how to get WMP to link to a song, but I'm working on it.

Last night, while I was updating my blog on the lastest news from this tragedy, I listened to that song probably 15 times--just beautiful.
