It has been a few days of intensity. The weekend was spent in workshops with AVP (alternative to violence program). I have been part of this workshop before and my parents are both trained in this area so the info was not that new to me. What was new was how I reacted to the material and the intensity of the workshop. I came out of the weekend feeling drained and slightly disillusioned. An added strain on the weekend and over the last two days has been the news of a young woman in the social justice networks here going into hospital on Friday and passing away yesterday. A layer of grief for her, for her family, friends and community hangs over me like a fog. There are questions of why did this happen and what does it mean. All of a sudden the kind of pain that people who lost loved ones in the bush fires in Victoria, becomes so much more real.
I would appreciate prayers the community of this young woman – and for all that are grieving.
