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.
