oh my Susan, so so sorry, how incredibly tough that must have been for you and to carry that grief. and yet still you are thinking of others the children and babies of Gaza and the unimaginable horrors that are happening to them & their families. It is, like you say, unbearable …

Choose love.
Choose peace.
Choose kindness.
Choose to keep searching bookstores, crumbling castles, and dark parts of the forest for portals to other realms, where reading & sleeping are celebrated sports.
