To hear what its
like to live under constant threat like this,
makes me realize how amazingly fortunate we've been.
It's no wonder humans from countries where
danger, torture and death are constant threats,
used to risk life and limb to come here.
What can one do from our relatively safe abode?
Bear witness, pay attention, do not grow numb to it,
keep the innocent victims close to our heart...
devise some small ritual to honor their suffering;
carry them with us as we move through our days.
Strengthen the power of joy and kindness
every way we can.
We will not surrender to cruelty.
May we remember the best way to resist
violence, cruelty and hate
is to plant seeds of caring wherever we are...
We are doing this...together.
More and more every day.
We will continue...we will prevail.
