But the hard truth of life is that we can be standing in the happiest place on earth, with a backpack full of organic snacks, and still hear the cry of the world that reminds us that the safety and security we believe is a given, was never ours to begin with.

But if we are all struggling, perhaps it would benefit us to come together in that vulnerability. Our community has experienced multiple traumas, and I believe deeply that we will be ok. How quickly we will be ok, or how long the ok-ness will last, I do not know (I am sadly not said wizard). But it is a perk of being a therapist to watch the resiliency of the human soul, even when all feels lost.
