“Always after these catastrophic events, we are gentler, more patient and kind with each other, and that’s a small miracle. It means something of the spirit is at work. For me, that is grace made visible. It doesn’t come immediately, or by bumper sticker, and it doesn’t come naturally. What comes naturally is rage and blame. Blame 'R' Us. But love and hope do come when we feel and see with our own eyes that families, towns, nations heal, resurrect.”
