One year since. . .
The death toll rises each day in this certain uncertainty. A geopolitical conflict, its consequences spilling out across this planet and onto the streets of my city. Distanced from the direct atrocities of another war, it is more than tension we feel in the neighborhoods where we live.
Every day the headlines speak to me. Every day there are more questions than answers.
How many bombs?
How many dead?
How many prayers?
How many times, in my lifetime, have I heard about the possibility of Middle East peace?
I, still, can only try to understand.
I too live with the fear, the grief, and the polarization of it all.

So many times you hit right on the heart, leaving me with no words, but “Yes!” Gasp “Yes!” > <3
