The world has come together, yet again, to express their sympathy and support after the latest terrorists attacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It is a sad coincidence that as I wrote <a title=\"Previous post on Preventing Cancer with French Flair\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2016\/03\/preventing-cancer-french-flair\/\" target=\"_blank\">my blog post last week<\/a>, the remaining terrorist in the Paris attacks had been caught in Belgium. I noted that I hoped this victory would give the French and other nations information to prevent future attacks. Tragically in just a week&#8217;s time, in between the writing of the last post and this, another horrific terrorist crime has occurred. More innocent people are dead and countries, particularly Europe is on high alert. In the midst of this wake, I&#8217;m more encouraged by the unification around the world expressing solidarity with Belgium and efforts to fight terrorism.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11680\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11680\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_Begium-Muslims-unite_AIE.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11680\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_Begium-Muslims-unite_AIE.png\" alt=\"Begium Muslims unite on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"480\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_Begium-Muslims-unite_AIE.png 480w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_Begium-Muslims-unite_AIE-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WP_Begium-Muslims-unite_AIE-373x300.png 373w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">via Washington Post<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Washington Post - Muslims are more Belgium than ever\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/europe\/in-a-divided-nation-muslims-say-theyre-more-belgian-than-ever\/2016\/03\/24\/b11be782-f1bd-11e5-a2a3-d4e9697917d1_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">This image<\/a> spoke a message about the human spirit &#8212; free and defiant, not afraid to gather, called into action, paying respects to the lives of the dead, offering hopes and prayers for their families and the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thinking about the book <a title=\"Previous post on Big Magic Kahuna\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2016\/02\/a-big-magic-kahuna-with-creative-content\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big Magic&#8217;s concept<\/a> that the idea is powerful and can be realized by those who think and act upon it, collectively as more people embrace prayer and thoughts for hope, I believe we can win this war.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4972\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4972\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/1_Hermes-Butterfly_casartblog.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4972\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4972 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/1_Hermes-Butterfly_casartblog.jpg\" alt=\"Hermes-Butterfly as seen on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"450\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/1_Hermes-Butterfly_casartblog.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/1_Hermes-Butterfly_casartblog-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Human + Butterfly merge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The butterflies are symbolic for God&#8217;s miracles, transformation, and rebirth.
