“There is amazing love and grace in people’s response to the
killings. It’s like white blood cells pouring in to surround and heal the
infection. It just breaks your heart every time, in the good way, where Hope
tiptoes in to peer around. For the time being, I am not going to pretend to be
spiritually more evolved than I am. I’m keeping things very simple: right foot,
left foot, right foot, breathe; telling my stories, and reading yours. I keep
thinking about Barry Lopez’s wonderful line, “Everyone is held together with
stories. That is all that is holding us together; stories and compassion.”
