Hi.
The reports keep coming. I don’t know how London’s emergency services are supposed to cope, never mind the communities who live there. I find myself watching the rolling coverage on the BBC a lot more than is healthy, but it is almost like if I take in every detail I will somehow see that there is a meaning to all the recent tragedies. That I will be able to glimpse some equilibrium and feel comforted?
But at the same time I don’t wish to be merely consoled, I want to look the chaos in the face and show the grit that those communities do, become mightier by seeing how other people manage it; learn the ultimate resilience.
My heart, once more, is with the afflicted families. I am so proud of the humanity that is being shown across faiths and class divides, for this is how we all should be. It proves there is, after all, hope and kindness still circulating in this world.
Ahead Want Doubt Toys Linen Sad Romantic Strong Middle
I don’t want to be ever fearful
Of what lies ahead.
I don’t want to doubt
The future of a curly-headed kid:
Happily playing with toys
And hiding random stuff
In my linen baskets.
I don’t want to be sad
Every time I turn on the news;
Feeling voyeuristic
As there are Panorama specials
Advertised
That make suffering almost romantic
By adding music.
I want to remain strong,
Show my children that:
Things like terrorism can’t win.
We are not in the middle
Of some unimaginable
Slump in humanity –
We’ll get through this…
Won’t we?
