Newtown I can not console you, you the Inconsolable, you are there and I am here, I can not be with you, any or all of you. Your grief is as big as the ocean you live near and you are now tossed on a churning pitch of waves of emotion, a salty wave-wash that cannot cleanse this. If I could wrap my arms around you, in the the hope you would absorb what strength, I had to give, but it would not be enough if you have lost a daughter or a son or a friend of someone, anyone. But I would anyway. I need to write this to let you know, that NONE of you are alone, but the emptiness that lies around your town your school your life will make you feel like it. PLEASE find others find all who are going through this cluster together, break bread, encourage, endure. NO MORE I do not know who can make the pain, your agony go away, I can not tell you for certain it will ever go away If I could make it go away, if it was right so to do. I would, but I am human my flesh is weak. My spirit cries out Comforter Arrive Swiftly! You deserve so much for your   LOSS Reach out to them everyone. My words seem hollow, even to me, Forgive me If this did not help. Let it be because I am only one, but America, the World, step close to a community that needs much. Newtown.
