As Jesus came near Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “If you had only recognized the things that make for peace! But, now they are hidden from your eyes.”
– Luke 19: 41-42

A bomb explodes in Brussels.
Like it exploded in…
Paris, and
Aleppo, and
Ankara, and
Oklahoma City, and
Selma, Alabama.
Killing many.
And maiming more.
The innocent.
The passer-by.
The mother on her way to work.
The father saying good-bye to his children.
My mind searches for a reason
In a desperate, but futile effort
To make sense of the senseless.
And, my heart breaks.
