Today I read more on the shootings in Atlanta, the deaths, the lives of those who were murdered.  I don’t know how we begin to understand.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: 

Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens. 

May this be evident and true with all that’s happening now, a time of one bombardment after another. 

Joanna Macy:  

The life pouring through us, pumping our heart and breathing through our lungs, did not begin at our birth or conception. Like every particle in every atom and molecule of our bodies, it goes back through time to the first splitting and spinning of that stars.
