This week started with a heaviness. Our weekend was lovely, and full, but the weight of senseless violence in the news right now hit so hard this morning.
I feel the urge to grasp everything I can even remotely call mine, and not let go.
Life doesn’t work this way. We never really have a grip, do we, before things shift.. and the violence of those shifts feels so unnecessary, yet, it simply is. Like water. We move with it, sometimes working with, sometimes battling. Enjoying it, being terrified, mystified, calmed, overwhelmed, drowned.
For every senseless act that shakes our very foundations, the opposite exists— the deepest love, the most indescribable beauty. That’s what I’m trying to focus on at this point. But my heart is hurting for just how horrible we can and at times are to each other. Let’s all actively work against this trend.
Be good.
