When No Words Come . . .

How can I write about the unspeakable when no words come?

     How can I offer my grief to those in Florida, whose loss is so immense?

          How can I add my voice to those who seek solutions?

Another shooting of innocent people numbs our minds and our hearts. So many people in this country  believe any control of guns with regulations curbs their right to bear arms.

The underlying causes of gun violence are complex and require complex solutions. None of these solutions gives the right to shoot other people.

Meanwhile, my loss of words haunts my soul. Me, who is used to finding words and writing to work through my thoughts and feelings - and hopefully contribute in some way to needed conversation in my beloved country.
