Questions of War

a sturdy people bruised with bodies weakened but with spirits always strong.

resiliency etched into their bones

always a hope for a better future of which they may never see. how can a people rise from the dust

pain and rubble of war? how can a people carry on their sacred

traditions and family religion in a foreign land? how can generations of trauma, distress, and damage

be sown back together?
