The Heart Speaks.

     As I take the time to reflect upon the Las Vegas shooting, looking at the images, hearing the stories of the survivors is heartbreaking. Sometimes when there is so much suffering, we see, but there are not words. No words to describe what we feel. Then I think to myself - how could something like this be allowed to happen? Why did this happen? So many questions.

     We pray. We mourn. Question, wonder, and then this same cycle of violence repeats itself. I think about what we can do, what we have lost, and what we have gained. In all tragic events we always come together, unite, share grievance and pain. But we must reflect upon what has been lost. Life. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, family, service members. Physical life has been lost, and also a hole has been created within a nation. A wonder of why?

​     Violence should never be the answer to a nations problems, let alone a mass shooting. Lives, holes, gaps, questions, wonder, but also a loss of communication. The root cause to mis - understandings. As nations, as people, we must once again learn how to communicate with one another, use our words, dialogue, discussion, recover relationships not only at a time of grievance, but also for the purposes of keeping relationships in tact. If we could solve our problems  by listening, understanding each others pains, and not simply to react and hurt the other - we could be doing, and focusing on much more good.

     At times when we use our words to heal from and share each others pain, we must also use our words to re-claim, re-build trust for the sake of preserving relationships, for the sake of peace and prosperity.

To all who have suffered through the Las Vegas Shooting. To a nation mourning. God Bless You, God Bless America. With love & kindness.
