No Words…
At times like these words are inadequate to express the grief I feel for the people of Minneapolis and our whole country. I send prayers for the families of George Floyd, Bronna Taylor, Ahmaud Arber and many others. May we celebrate Love. May we all spread Love. May we think of kindness first. Fear is always a liar.
