Sorrow is how we learn to love. —    Rita Mae Brown, Riding Shotgun     If sorrow is how we learn to love, then let us learn. Already enough sorrow’s been sown for whole continents to erupt into astonishing tenderness. Let us learn. Let compassion grow rampant, like sunflowers along the highway. Let each act of kindness replant itself into acres and acres of widespread devotion. Let us choose love as if our lives depend on it. The sorrow is great. Let us learn to love greater— riotous love, expansive love, love so rooted, so common we almost forget the world could look any other way.   ~ Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, www.ahundredfallingveils.com May 31, 2020
