Thank you for giving us a way through succumbing to either/or thinking or having to choose sides. The witness and experience of your four visits testifies to the path forward.

This is the best analysis I have seen of the disaster happening in Palestine. I join this hope that we will have the courage to face the horror and rekindle our humaneness.

Thank you. Thank you. May those of us standing in this human place in the midst of chaos keep asking questions and keep speaking. Hopefully it is a rising chorus that may be heard.

Thank you for these thoughts. We are all struggling to put into words what's "rumbling" inside, a phrase of your I really like. Jim

You remind me of the diaconal call to enter the pain and suffering of our world in all its corners and then to share the pain and agony with all. Yes, it's one thing to see and experience the horror, but quite another to respond with love and grace. Thank you for the challenge (and gift) of lament and opening the path to love and peace, even if it's still a dark path. That's all I can do right now........selah
