Love the poem! A lot to absorb but my initial response is to the phrase "Rebuilding...On a heart of trust...an identity of belonging and a community bonding ". It reminds me of the bumper sticker on my mom's car that says Love over Fear which I think is based on a Bible verse that says perfect love casts out all fear.
Perhaps this perfect love is in "connecting and learning from those who’ve experienced suffering."
I’ve been watching the maps out there, especially since I have family nearby. Love these reflections. It’s really humbling to realize just how much we depend on elements beyond our control. And I love how you pointed out the way we process past struggles together when new ones come. That kind of sharing can be so unifying and hope-building for a community in harm’s way.

Ooh, I like that definition!
