A WORD FROM LB
As I write this, the news is coming in about the latest atrocity in our so-called civilized world – the car bomb deaths of at least 60 people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice.
As a human being living in this time in this culture, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the violence that has defined this month, July, 2016, so far.
As a writer, I know that I should have words to accompany the thoughts and feelings, express them not only so I can sort out the sense behind the senselessness but also so I can communicate my deliberations and conclusions to a wider audience, to help that audience deal with the situation.
