Black Ribbons

Violence is becoming way too real. The still-at-large, local rampager brings it all so close...again. Gabby Gifford just up the street at the Safeway back in Tucson; the nurses at U of A; in Ferguson, Michael Brown where I was a pre-schooler/grade schooler; Eric Garner at Staten Island. There are too many others.

Keoni says it best for me on Facebook...

"So I rarely post anything political, but I feel the need to express my disbelief that the US is currently a country where a police officer can, unprovoked, choke an unarmed civilian to death without consequences."

Others share with me a conviction that our young people are tomorrow's best hope.

I'm taking a moment right now to honor those lost and those who grieve. May they abide in love.
