Finding meaning: Tragedy and Hope

While covering the death of a Pope in Rome, my dear friend, and Newsweek Paris Bureau Chief, Chris Dickey, suffered a bizarre accident. He was blinded by a malfunctioning light while delivering a report on one the of television outlets. His account of what happened, and what he was thinking while not knowing how badly he was hurt, is his great writing at its best--highly worth reading! We can all find a hook with which to identify, and learn something new about ourselves.
