"Eight years ago I despaired," [Patrick] Nathan writes at the end of his newsletter. "I panicked. I grieved. I binged the news and waited for something to happen, for someone to stop it. This morning, I woke up ready to act. This isn't to condemn or belittle grieving, nor panic nor despair. But I do hope, after you take the time you need, that you find it in your heart to shut off the stream, to go out into your community, to find out what people need, and to do whatever you can."
I'm writing this little intro on November 7 with no idea of what's to come. But what I do know is that what I can do right now, what I need to do, is share some of the stories that other brave, brilliant people have shared.
