Words fail me ....

Oh Brooke ... : (

But I guess the reason why it hurts so much is knowing that the numbers are stark ...

I hope that through this bold and raw writing that touches the depths of our human psyche - those raw bits in people who are part of these statistics are healed.

And that we as humanity grow beyond statistics and numbers in this world of ours; to live with greater awareness and tread with tremendous care.

Movies, books, stories, poetry, workshops, talks .... It all matters, it all makes an impact, it helps educate, elevate and in time erradicate
