Thank you for sharing this. I have been mulling over how to speak to/about this painful moment in our world, and I, too, feel a need to find some sort of refuge as well, a refuge for gathering my head, a refuge for praying (more than merely hoping as you rightly say) for solutions, a refuge for courage (ironically as that may sound) to do my part. I am praying for the refuge and safety of those innocent lives trapped and displaced among the hatred and violence, and I want to be able to know and do what I can do in these moments. But finding light and resonance from words like these are essential. So thank you for your words.

Thank you. It does feel, somehow, like saying something is both far too little and yet also too much.
