Now is the time

I was going to title this post 'Not enough words in the world. . . .'  and there are truly not enough words in the world to describe what happened this past Friday.

But then I realized that now is the time for words -- many words.
Words, like  'mental illness'   'broken health care system'   and: yes - even  'gun control'

Now is the time to use those words to begin talking -- and then to make those words into laws that protect us all equally.
