“We are called into Culture Care, this act of mending the fractured soil of culture, so that beauty and mercy might grow again. And this mending, this gentle insistence on tending rather than consuming, is itself a form of transfiguration. Where there was only shadow, we can plant seeds of light in hope. To speak of Hiroshima and Nagasaki today is not to rehearse guilt or assign blame; it is to name the wound so that it might become a womb.”
