Hymn For The Hurting by Amanda Gorman
"May we choose our children over chaos.
May another innocent never be lost.
Maybe everything hurts,
Our hearts shadowed & strange.
But only when everything hurts
May everything change." Amanda Gorman
Amanda Gorman uses paradox in her poetry in such powerful ways. Parker Palmer writes of the paradoxes of life in his book "A Hidden Wholeness" and I thought of this as I read this new poem from Amanda Gorman.
May harm, hurt spur help,
help spur healing to spur change.
Hang in there ‘til then?
