Why has the burning of Notre Dame touched so many greatly? Because we believe in beauty, majesty, faith, art, history, and the human expressions thereof. We recognize in this magnificent edifice our common humanity. A scar has now emerged in our connections to our past, our future, and each other.
Standing in Notre Dame, one couldn't help but look in awe at the creations of the human mind and reflect on the toil of the human body. The scale and craft rightfully draw people from around the globe. Our faint hopes lie with the firefighters battling to limit the damage.
