after i started breathing again, once it became clear that my loved ones were physically, if not emotionally, safe, after the sky had fallen not once but three times and the rubble had started to settle, i could finally start to think about this.

i can't fit my mind around this. i am so deeply scared of the aftermath.

our leaders, our fearful leaders, are speaking of revenge, of retaliation. "eye for eye, tooth for tooth"

we have not yet called attention to all of the eyes and teeth that we have taken without giving any back.

somebody needs to speak of peace. somebody needs to speak of compassion.

i am scared that we are headed into a vortex of senseless violence. i can't sleep or eat, and all that is left to do is pray.
