Yet we must not be silent. We must be strong. We must be like silk – our hearts delicately sensitive, our minds strong and tensile. We must be brave. We must move on, soldier ahead. We must not lose sight of our dear departed friends and we must tend to the grieving ones who are still around. We must come together to cry, to laugh, to embrace, to share, to love. We must unite in this war against ignorance, dogma, misguided beliefs and violence. We must take responsibility for what has happened and what has not. We must educate and enlighten and bless. Yes, we must be strong.
