It seems like I can't turn to other subjects without trying to say something about this, but words are inadequate. Perhaps the words haven't been invented. A woman who survived the holocaust once wrote that there is a language that no one knows, no one except those who survived the camps. We have all survived this past week, yet where are the words to describe it? Evil is the only one that seems adequate. I know we've been discussing past evils and possible future ones and, perhaps, someday I will find something else I can say. But, right now, this is it. That, and I keep praying for God's mercy on us all. That doesn't seem adequate to what I wish I knew how to say either, but it will have to do.

Here are some words, perhaps insufficient, but relevant and a beginning:
The karmic dust of angels is everywhere. The secret side of things is open to us. The time of innocence is gone. The age of dreaming has come.
Old ways are dying. We who live through turbulent mysteries Do not know that a whole way is passing. We do not know the things to come.
We go on living as if history is a dream. The miracle is that we go on Living and loving as best we can, In this enigma of reality.
