Layers
Layers upon layers upon layers
Layers of sadness, loss, and grief
Crying out for those who we have lost
Crying out for those who will not be silenced
Crying out for those who are in need
Tending to broken hearts
Tending to what I now can see
Tending to our communities
Realigning my priorities
Repairing what needs mending
Rediscovering my paths toward wholeness
Remembering my humanity
Standing with and for each other
Seeking patience, wisdom, and guidance
Pursuing strength, comfort, and shalom
Pursuing joy and laughter
Pursuing
