So many, in the wake of what happened yesterday in Connecticut, have expressed the reasonable need to draw their children in closer, to hold them and watch over them more closely. I support that wholeheartedly, of course.
But perhaps keep an eye out, and arms open, for other children whose parents may not be as thoughtful and caring, even if you have no children of your own. It's rarely those children who come from places of peace that become violent, but those who are left alone too long in the darkness.
Every child is the provenance of every adult. Love them. Teach them. Fight for them. Be Patient. Be kind. But, more than anything else, just be there.
