this truly is a hateful nation, in a world so desperate for love. it's unspeakably sad.

Empathy begins at home. Many of those reading this will, in the past days and months, have fought, grafted and struggled to build spaces where human beings can come together, support one another in a shared sense of loving grief. Grief for the damage we see all around us; grief for the future we fear for our children or ourselves. 

Empathy begins at home – but it doesn’t end there. It takes us beyond borders, beyond divisions, to a greater understanding of the immensity of what’s at stake.

We must follow it: it’s only with a global, collective moment of awakening that we can hope to face this crisis.
