There is no way to think about it, no place to put the pain. I just feel a sucking dark wind from a hole in the world where those lives used to be. Thank you for showing us the clear, bright beauty of our children's inherent kindness. A reminder to keep fighting for them.
Simone Weil believed that friendship is an act of justice--that rights are bestowed but obligation is inherent. Our obligation to one another and ourselves in in friendship, in justice. How this can feel so true and right and make it match with the world presented to us, with so much cruelty and lack of obligation, care. Thank you for reminding us that we have that inherent will--to care and be cared for. If society is beating it out of us, that is a society I will always rage against.
