And then I remember, I cannot lose hope because I am, we all are, living for and loving a whole universe of souls who depend on our ability to believe in the good, even when so much of what we see says otherwise. Thank you for the reminder, friend.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-64392918686885525062016-09-20T11:01:11.226-04:002016-09-20T11:01:11.226-04:00It helps me to think of all the human tragedies th...It helps me to think of all the human tragedies that have already happened, how resilient and kind the human race is at its best. We can't lose hope. I'll tell you one sure thing -- I come here, to your blog, and the first thing I see is the warmth of the photo at the top. Just as you and your children and their friends are gathered warmly in your home, I feel gathered warmly by coming here.

Very scary stuff. My son follows US politics quite closely and has told me about the third party option, but I do not see how it could deliver the knockout punch needed in this case. Also very scary stuff, in a different way. Thinking of you all.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-72883003711186417572016-09-19T14:35:28.096-04:002016-09-19T14:35:28.096-04:00I thought about your son when I heard about the bo...I thought about your son when I heard about the bombs. <br />Jesus. <br />What the hell is going on?
