The sun rose today
It rose on a day with broken hearts and little broken bodies.
It rose even though we know that things are not ok.
It rose as it has for over 4 billion years.
A reminder that we must go on.
A reminder that we are star dust today mixed with tears.
An opportunity today to do better.

To my loved ones: I do not have religion. What comforts others in these hard times doesn’t comfort me. My husband tells me I still have faith though, that he sees it in how I talk of nature and science and the beauty to be found in life, in my wonder at the stars. Maybe he is right. All I know is that thinking of the vastness of things, of the age of the sun, these things some how bring peace. Maybe they will bring some to others too. -shrug- Do what works for you! Love you, no matter what you believe.
