• The pain of the world will sear and break our hearts because we can no longer keep them closed. We've seen too much now.

With it comes the honor of participating in a generous process in which one rises each day and does what one can. With it comes the simple, singular grace of being an instrument of Love, in whatever form, to whatever end.
