On reading a response to the tragic hate crime in Orlando Florida

Today I mourn. 

Some days I hope.

Some days I believe my 
grandchildren will know that 
who they call family,  who they love,
how they define themselves, is a gift. 

Is a gift.

Love of self, of others
is a gift.  Enhances the whole,
makes the world a better place. 

Some days I even hope that the cultural and spiritual 
home of my childhood recognizes and celebrates that 
too. 

Today, I mourn.
