A Day of Grief, Pain, Loss and Questions

Several times today I had thought to sit and type out what was flooding my soul and each time I couldn’t find the words. I could find pain, horror, anger, deep sadness, fear but no words. I would reach out from my heart to hold the families of those children and the grief was overwhelming. I would reach out to the soul of that young person who fired into that church and ultimately ended their own life – the pain and sense of separation expressed in anger and hatred was also overwhelming. Now and then I would turn on the news to check in and wasn’t able to watch for long because it was also overwhelming.

How do we find our way through this? What else is mine to do?

At one point, someone I was talking with said, ‘Well, it’s just the way it is,’ and I said,almost screaming, NO! We can not normalize this as just the way it is! It is not normal for children to die while praying in church! It is not normal for children to be in danger at school. It’s not normal for a person to be driven to lash out because they are unable to live their authentic life with acceptance and support. It’s not normal for a person to just disappear into a abyss because of the color of their skin or where they were born. It’s not normal for children – any one – to be killed by bombs and gunfire in refugee camps or starved to death by politics. . It is not normal to create division to gain control. It’s not normal to denigrate, to bully, to label and judge — we can not let this become the norm! I will not accept that as just the way it is!

So much of the Body is in pain and overwhelmed with grief right now. Tonight, I am focused on sending out healing energy and prayers of support. Tomorrow it will once again be time to move my feet – to take that energy and those prayers into action. May I be guided to the right action from a place of love amd compasson!
