A school worker mops a mural of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370; at the Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino High School in the Philippines.

Today marks 8 months since MH370 vanished over the Indian Ocean in March with 239 people on board.  Let us spend a moment in quiet reflection on impermanence and the uncertainty of life, and generate thoughts of mettā (loving kindness) and karunā (compassion) to the grieving families of its passengers and crew.  May they have the strength and resilience to carry on with their lives wholesomely.  May they find Peace.
