I have Four Things To Write this weekend, but my evening class cancelled, and I'm off to be with a friend and her parents for lunch.

There are terrible events in the news. The kinds of things that make you wonder if humanity will ever surmount cruelty.

If you can help, help.

If you can do something locally, touch grass, connect with a neighbour, remember that there *are* still helpers, hug a loved one... do so.

And if you need a moment to grieve? Take it.

But keep going.

Keep being here. 💛
