In the aftermath of the Paris bombing and the Brussels bombing
Sassy has taken to seeking solace in poetry.
"I do think that all of us think in poems. I think of a poem as
being deeper than headline news. You know how much they
talk about breaking news all the time, that--if too much breaking
news, trying to absorb all the breaking news, you start feeling
broken. And you need something that takes you to a place
that's a little more timeless, that kind of gives you a place to
stand to look out at all these things. Otherwise, you feel
assaulted by all the tragedy in the world."

Read a Naomi Shihab Nye poem.
"Kindness" is my favorite.
