Blessing or Curse? What words touch our suffering during pandemic?

Blessing or Curse? What words touch our suffering during pandemic?

“’Bless what there is, for being.’ Whatever it be, bless it because it exists; you need no other reason.” ~Br. David Steindl-Rast

Window On Beech and a painting in progress by JRobin Whitley

questions abound
in a world that was

one enormous question

my word,
NO ONE knows
a thing about the why or what
of suffering.
