Beautiful, Florian. Just beautiful. Several years ago, a very close friend of my sister died. Sometime during following night I was "given" this haiku, intact, for her (I have "pluralized" it for our current context).
When we were with you, We were made of light, and dark. Now the dark is gone. On this day of prayer for those who have been killed and those who mourn for them, I hope we can take some solace in it.

It is so scary to take the risk and step foreward, to step into the ring and show the vulnurability. I sometimes think of it as a paradox that I, so concious of how dangerous groups could be, have chosen to work with groups and again and again taking that risks. I have to fight the "who am I to..." and the inner demand that it should be so very very important and clever and special and... and... So, now I take the risk to talk in your presence, which I can feel. I am so glad that you all exist! I have to send this quick now, before the inner judges get me. Agneta Setterwall--
