​There are not words in times like these, in moments that goodness all but disappears. But words mean comfort, they have the capacity to mend and heal. I was overcome by the sanctity of this event. My heart aches with those impacted by sexual violence, I only pray they might encounter such a ceremony of affirmation and healing.
