"We must gather together like this again and again, because we cannot be together enough when something like this happens. This is what we are hard-wired as human beings to do: be there and comfort one another. What happened was all about hate and violence. It had nothing to do with God or faith or any one spiritual tradition. Don't let this cut you off from your spirituality or from reaching out to others who are different from you. Reach out to one another - it's the best way to heal and to affirm life in the face of such horrific death.”
