If we can conceive a blessing hidden in disaster and delivered by its blow, this is it, the unmistakable knowing that we are all in this together and each one's suffering is also my own -- however it came about. In the aftermath of this horror there will be a natural closing of the heart among many, to defend "me and mine" and "my country" against the alien Other who has shown itself capable of such violence. the hardest place to hold, to TRULY hold, it seems to me, is the place that you speak, Cassie: this is HUMAN- and EARTH- wide sorrow and distress, visited upon all, and i too am culpable. I think we have arrived at Wounded Knee. "The way forward is with a broken heart." Thank you, dear Cassie, for speaking this so beautifully. love to all reading this, kyla
