The contrast between your lovely town and what you just witnessed is jarring. I pray that others will be prompted to act in protest (as millions did this past weekend) and to voice their views and concerns as you have eloquently done. Thank you, Susie, for contributing to our POSTCARD project.
Our world is indeed shrouded in dark, choking smoke both real and metaphysical. We struggle with you to hold on to our inherent decency and compassion in the wildfires that rage around us.
Welcome, dear Susie. Despite the painful information you are reflecting on, my heart leaps to find you nestling here, with "we the North." It sometimes feels like the world is on fire, and your essay this morning, despite how sad and terrifying the subject matter, feels like a rest in the shade with a dear friend.
I watched a 2022 movie that took place in suburban America. Beautiful, green spaces like the ones you describe and sweet Norman Rockwell pageants playing out. My heart was immediately sad for what was, and what is now.

A bucolic town, people suddenly snatched away, Sounds like Germany in the 1930s.
