We must remain vigilant, keeping ourselves safe and everyone around us safe. We come to see, to know, to realize that ultimately our destiny is in God’s hands. God’s will be done. Maybe before we didn’t fully see or sense that, now we do. Now we do...
Something new is occurring, a new beginning. To name it is to reduce it, to flatten it, to deny some aspect of reality that we all experienced there.
