So deeply moved by Rachel's wisdom. Many years ago I read her 2 famous books and the story which spoke most profoundly to me and still does, is Broken, from My Grandfather's Blessings. I've had a statue of St Francis in my (late) son Yohanan's garden for 23 years and every day when I look at it, I think of 'innocent life'. With these last terrible weeks in Israel and Gaza, I've shed so many tears for the innocent. My hope is discovering and supporting a group in Israel called 'Standing Together' and the movement is growing. For those who desire a peaceful and just solution, please consider supporting this group or any other that serves peace and innocent life. 💜
