Getting to this a day late because I am "on retreat" with Buddhist teachers helping us understand how "suffering is the message," one that pushes us toward change beyond what we thought possible. As one without children myself, I can say that what keeps me resilient is knowing that there are still new beings coming into the world. Their smiles lift my heart on zoom and facetime and across the yard, and I know THEIR joy and fresh minds are something we will need as we reconstruct what went wrong. I read somewhere that all the souls up there are lining up clamoring to be born in these times--because there's so much good work to be done.
