To sit in silence ...

Grief and sorrow fill our hearts once again as we see the sights and hear the sounds of the distraught. I reach once again for a poem by a Somali - British poet, Warsan Shire to sit in silence.

Later that night

I held an atlas in my lap

ran my fingers across the whole world

and whispered where does it hurt?

It answered

everywhere

everywhere

everywhere.
