Commentary
The recent devastation in Los Angeles defies words. Frustration, despair, and anger weigh heavily on those who endured the wildfires. The word “surreal” barely captures the horror as close friends recount their homes and entire neighborhoods reduced to ash. Their stories, pictures, and videos are both mesmerizing and gut-wrenching. Sleep eludes me as I think of so many former neighbors left without shelter—possibly for years. My heart aches for the lives lost and the destruction left behind. I pray, relentlessly, for everyone affected.
