WHEN WE TURN AWAY

We remember the storm. But what stays with us even longer is what comes after. The silence.Water rose above windows, swallowed rooftops. In one night, homes, belongings, and years of labor were swept away. These losses are heavy to witness.

And yet, all too often, instead of reaching out, we turn away. Not because the sorrow is too much to bear, but because it feels easier not to look.It is more comfortable to let others carry the pain, to pretend it isn’t ours to share. But every time we ignore someone’s suffering, something inside us quietly closes.

Not around them, but around our own heart. A silent wall forms, layer by layer, moment by moment. And one day, when we are the ones in need, we wonder why nobody comes close.Pain always seems far away— until it has a face, until it looks back at us.

In that moment, “I didn’t know” is no longer enough. The moment has already passed. The step was already taken away, not toward. Disaster is here— in front of us, breathing beside us. Some people only watch the storm. Others choose to become shelter.That difference— that choice— is what truly endures.
