For Charleston

My heart is with Charleston today. The victims. Their families and friends...  My heart is with all of those who don't feel safe in their communities, be they teenagers at parties or families praying in their houses of worship. My heart is with those who speak up and fight back and stand tall against a twisted system with their voices and their mirrors and say "LOOK!!!!" even when so many refuse to see...  My thoughts are with those who cannot recognize their inability to look beyond their own experiences. My heart is with the angry, the heartbroken, the frustrated, the confused... My heart is with Charleston.
