Thank you Ellie, such gracious words are a healing balm today, rrestoring resilience to grieving souls. 🧘🧡 Judi

Here inn Crescent City, 2sqmis., 1300 citizens, a city commission race for mayor and 2 commissioners, all 3 women won against a hate mingering group we call Recallers who have filed law suits against them and spent a lot of money spreading horrible lies.  (excuse rhe one long sentence). This local community is a seed of progress and sign of ppossibility - a wayto continue serving God in our communities. 

🌼🤎Walk in peace.

Dear Friends,

For me, this is indeed a sad day for the United States, and perhaps the world.  Trump's vision and actions are based on illusion--a house of cards built on sand, in the long run unsustainable and destructive.  Now, we are called to continue to live into the values and truths that have guided us--love, kindness, compassion, courage, peace, beauty, justice, and gratitude for this amazing, interrelated world--and work toward a sustainable and resilient Earth and all that is in it.  It will be a bumpy ride, as humanity and Earth are experiencing a great, maybe the greatest transition affecting and collapsing all humanity's systems and structures and Earth's systems.  Wherever we are, we, as individuals and as communities, need to discern how best continue to be sustainable and resilient communities and perhaps be a catalyst for midwifing the yet unseen and new ways of living that will be in sync with Earth and all our relatives--animal, vegetable and mineral.

It is raining here today--maybe Earth's tears of grief; but, whether we see it or not, the sun is still there, gifting us another day and the energy with which to live it in humility, gratitude and compassion and passion.

    Grace and peace ~ 

Ellie
