Today is the time to feel. Today, weep. Today, weep tears of grief as you think of those more than 80 bright little lights that have been extinguished. Those more than 80 families ripped apart. All the other dead and injured. This nation of ours that is hurting. Today, weep tears of gratitude as you hold your own children, with you only by the grace of God. Gratitude for all the teachers who care for them when they are away from us. Gratitude for the soldiers who are going in harm’s way, the nurses who are receiving and washing the dead and injured, the strangers who are donating at the blood banks, everyone at the front line, doing whatever they can. Today, weep tears of anger at all those atrocious lost individuals who are bent on hijacking our peace, our country, our religion, our narrative. Today, weep tears of renewal and determination to change things. Somehow. To put our best selves forward every minute of every day because today has shown that it is more important than ever. That there is only one minute between life and no life. Today, weep like the Prophet. And while you weep, hope and pray that our flowing tears combine like a river and the soft, persistent power of that river break down all the big and little rocks of evil amongst us. #PrayForPeshawar
