utterly heartbreaking –
It is.
I am unable to understand how, as a compassionate human, I can think about the vast number of other humans, each as important as me, and what horrors they are living through right this second. Terrorists. Famine. Hurricanes. DACA. Why them? How can they be made safe? It gets harder and harder to comprehend.
Tears…
Nan, that’s it. Right there.
It is hard to ‘like’ this post but very important to acknowledge it and the human tragedy it represents. Thank you David for showing human truth in all its sadness and horror.
I feel the same Louise. Thanks.
Things must be very bad if going to Bangladesh is a better place. That country has had so many calamities!
No kidding.
good post
Overwhelmed by the suffering in our world but seeing so much love of one for another in this scene. Also I’m feeling immense gratitude for my life as it is and a longing to make all right with the world.
Peg, you nailed it.
I can’t seem to manage all the sorrow – my heart is too full – so. I hope so, that every act of kindness is amplified exponentially, when it should just be who we are.
Well captured Mimi. I feel the same.
Heart wrenching photo but shows such compassion that is so innate within a person even a very young child. We could all learn from this. I believe we are all born with this instinct.
I so agree with you Deb. Beautiful captured in your words.
