We just got blindsided, and we are reacting. Some are pulling the covers up higher to block it out, some are pushing themselves to the breaking point. Most of us don't know what the hell to do so we are waiting for direction. Without grace and compassion we risk self destruction. With creating excuses for ourselves we risk leaving our lives on the table to be lived another day. Neither of those is wrong, or right, they just are. Finding the balance is the path.
