In the competition of suffering, there are only losers. Loss and trauma in Israel and Gaza, and heartbreak in all who feel a connection to the people there. When there are no words, there is song.
At this moment, I want to sing an “Oseh shalom” prayer that expresses the pain of being so very far from the distant hope of peace. Please join me, and may the goal draw ever so slightly nearer.
