"We live in a world that is increasingly antagonistic to grieving - grieving [that] could disturb one's claim to citizenry, to productivity, to being proper, to being a proper self, and yet it feels like the world and the events at large are inviting us into a space of grieving and it feels our bodies want to do it, especially in a time when it feels politics isn't serving.

Our aim is not to arrive at a specific truth. Our aim is not to reach consensus. Our aim is not to prove who's wrong and who's right. We are here to touch and be touched.

Some of us don't even know how to speak any longer because what to say is always going to be wrong from another body's perspective. But peace has never been premised on the algorithms of correctness.
