Sunday Stories:
Where We Are Going...And how do we get there?"

Poem
”We are standing at the edge of who we’ve been.
Grief behind us, possibility ahead.
The world keeps asking what we’re willing to lose to feel powerful.
I’m asking what we’re willing to protect to remain human.” - Loni

As I write this, my heart is heavy.
News of the shooting at Brown University has settled into my spirit, not as a headline, but as a wound. Another campus. Another moment where fear entered a space meant for learning, safety, and becoming. Another reminder that violence has learned how to move quietly through places we once believed were sacred.

And sacred places are no longer sacred…As I write this, news of the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach comes across my computer.

All of this at the same time, I am preparing to get my granddaughter from her university so we can head home for Christmas.

That dissonance - that unbearable closeness between public tragedy and private love - is where this Sunday story lives.

And unfortunately DC will look like it’s this horrible crime ridden mostly black city - when the shooter is actually an Afghan national who lived in Washington State (that’s near Oregon for the geographically challenged), and travelled across the country to do this. The question is why? Was it because there were no incidents happening in any of the urban cities where the National Guard had been dispatched.

Live updates: 2 National Guard members shot in D.C. near White House Three gunshot victims were taken to the hospital after the shooting in downtown Washington.
