Every atrocity has something in it to advance anyone’s agenda, and we can expect to see this play out in the spate of editorializing and discussion that proliferates and makes it difficult for you to access your inward selves.

First stop blaming
We must begin with this, and the rest will follow in exact proportion to our assiduity in practicing. We must begin with this.
As long as one breath
