The grief the grief the grief.

And the rage and love.

We have it in us to be so much better than this.
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

“there should be sentences that show the twists and turns of meanings—the way almost every word slips in its silvery, fishlike way, weaving this way and that, adding subtleties of nuance to itself, and then perhaps shedding them…”

almost all

Almost none
of it isn’t.
Pretty much
solid elephant.
So there’s no

about it.
