Tragedies bring us closer together, it's said, and I believe that's true. Riveted to our TV screens and Twitter at first, we climb through the rubble until our hearts crack open and our minds shut down, so wholly unequipped are we to comprehend the things we've witnessed. So we seek refuge, here and elsewhere, bound together by the braided cords of anguish and hope. It is on this precarious ledge that we tell our stories, turn over in our hands like treasures the things we've salvaged, mourn the depth of our losses and celebrate the legacies that endure.
