With your eyes closed today, hear a flower open or a seed-head fall.
I refuse to not feel. I stand, sometimes bent over, hand on my knees, out of breath, wet face from my eyes leaking, hollow from lack of sleep, seeing it all. I refuse to not love and laugh despite it all.
I refuse the lies of the killers.
I stand for truth, dignity and peace.
This is sad beyond belief. A young father and husband trying to provide. This world can be a hellscape far too often.
Such devastation. Such cruelty. So much beautiful life taken away. All I can offer in this moment is an aching heart.
