one of your best, rev. made me cry, and then I cry so easily these days. I'm learning to regard these tears as a reminder that I'm still human, despite all the efforts to callous the human out of us. Thanks again for this lovely essage. I will reread and share.

Thank you for your kind words. I was just talking to some friends about “setting the table for tears.” Tears are an antidote to the rapid-fire flood-the-zone tactics that try to keep us disregulated, afraid and angry. I’m so honored that this piece brought you to tears— and grateful for the the stories I shared that did the same for me. Blessings and solidarity.

Hold on to our hearts,

to each other, to faith, hope.

Handholding heals, helps.
