Our cities & our homes are underwater.
Our sense of safety has been swept away.
We will rebuild.
The love & support we share with each other will be woven into the foundation of our new lives.
I have two pieces to share ::
First, a 7 min interview on coping with trauma and dealing with disaster {the practical}.
Second, a poem from a poet that has guided me through many difficult times {the inspirational}.
Rise Together
It’s a beautiful time to be alive.
And the long walk home is peopled –
We are everywhere.
Yet the struggle to surrender is where we often walk
alone.
So the next time you fall
look
to either side where you lie
and take the hand
of your dear Brother or Sister
whose own face is muddied.
We can rise together,
even if we fall alone –
for it’s a beautiful time to be alive.
even
on
this
long
walk
home
