After foregoing sleep for 3 days and following the machinations of our national drama, I was gratified to live in such interesting times. When the projected winner was announced, I knew I could lend my body to some needed repose after giving a shout out from my door to our 8th-floor hallway. Since we have a diverse resident body, I believe there were some who rued the results and I hope they find solace in Biden's proclamation to be a President for ALL the people including those who did not vote for him. May they pivot to hold him accountable to his word and respond accordingly.
For God's sake, there's enough of a task available to command the attention and efforts across our political spectrum.
That reminds me of a couple of family stories involving my son Adam at age 2 when he came to stay with Granny during a Summer Program in Chicago at Kemper. He was listening to music in another room and Granny called to him, "What are you doing, Adam?" He replied, "Getting me some soul!" May we get in touch with that dimension as we foresee the future that awaits us and our nation. Oh, and another time on that visit to Granny's, she asked Adam one evening, "What did you do today, Adam?" And his response was, "Do today?" May that be our individual response to the expenditure of our corporate energy today and onto tomorrow.
Kindfully yours,
dawn
We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first.
