This week has been filled with incomprehensible violence, loss and pain. I am grieving for the victims and their survivors, mourning the loss of our sense of security and longing for peace and love for all.

May the surviving victims be surrounded by love and may their broken hearts be comforted so they can live again.

May we find a way to identify, treat and heal those who are hurting and in mental crisis so that we can prevent such mass tragedies and even the tragedies which occur daily, on a smaller scale.

May we remember to give smiles, freely.

May we remember to love one another and treat each and every person we encounter with love, patience and kindness.

May we find hope.

May we find peace.

May we feel love. May we share love.
