I am broken about what happened to Alex Pretti yesterday.
I am desperate to find something to hold on to, something to relate to, something to be with me in my grief over what happened to Alex and what is happening to my country. I have searched for my spiritual teachers to address this, to the late night hosts truth tellers to speak to this, even to Saturday Night Live to bring some light to it. But I found nothing but more angles of the shooting. And more retellings. And more tragedy. I just wanted someone to speak to this grief I am feeling, to be in this with me.
I awoke this morning not wanting to do a video - I just wanted more time to process, to grieve, to understand. But I realize that you, too, might need someone to process with, to grieve with.
I reminded myself how important it is for each of us to use our voices. I knew I needed to share my voice and my perspective to add whatever help I can to whoever out there needs to hear it.
So, I made this video, in case you need help figuring out what to make of this on a spiritual level, and what we can do to move forward into change.
We will do whatever we can, whenever we can, however we can.
