When did a worry free childhood cease to exist
and safety drills for active shooters begin?
Somewhere in between
dignity,
belonging,
significance,
inclusion in a larger community,
somewhere in between
a safe harbor disappeared.
A safe harbor where all are welcomed,
isolation does not exist.
All are called to the table
because everyone belongs.
Everyone is loved and
Lives lovingly.
Turn back the clocks,
identify the when,
change the direction,
become a safe harbor.
I spent the morning being introduced to the ALICE safety protocol for an active shooter. I grieve for the loss of the worry free childhood.
