“We wait beside tombs because this is where God shows up: where love leads us back to life without reason and often without hope. God appears in the places where there is nothing left but devastation, where there are only dead ends and solid walls, when no one else is coming. And it is here, waiting here where grief and terror break open, here that we discover the one who is there, calling us by name. Here we become one, and here Jesus makes himself known.”
–Melissa Florer-Bixler, How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace, p. 39
