There is a lot going on right now.

A lot of thoughts I am processing. Words I am struggling to find.

My city is in turmoil, shattered by events and emotions too big for our hearts.

We are angry.
We are disappointed.
We are ashamed.
We are heart broken.
We are grieving.
We are trying to come together while being torn apart.
We are Brunswick.

I leave you tonight with this place holder. It holds space and reverence for thoughts not yet formed, emotions not yet processed.

This flower, newly formed, ready to burst into bloom or flame was waiting for me when I sought solace and alone time on the back steps this evening.

I am finding words hard to come by. My feelings too big for language.
So I leave you tonight with this gift from nature. It is silent but speaks a universal language. It is simple but holds all of the answers. Answers I am tying to find.
