"Faith comes and goes. It rises and falls like the tides of an invisible ocean. If it is presumptuous to think that faith will stay with you forever, it is just as presumptuous to think that unbelief will." -- Flannery O'Connor, 1961

I often turn to poems, songs, and collaging to process emotions and express myself. Today, I look at the world and have nothing to share but a nauseous, heavy, unhopeful feeling in the pit of my stomach. My heart goes out to everyone impacted by the senseless evils of dehumanization and violence.
