First off, I have to remind myself that violence happens all over the world, every day, in greater and lesser ways. As horrific as the tragedy in Paris is, I feel our hearts and minds, as citizens of one planet, need to remember that the world seems to be fattening on violence, gore, and mayhem like a horrible tick, and it happens every single day.
I must say that soon, as it seems now with every act of mass violence, the attacks in Paris will be spoken of, decried
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
