What if - as Joe Pierce once demonstrated about how to field the question of why $1,600 to hold a Town  Meeting 76 event in my town by reframing the conversation from what does the $1,600 go for to what the result of the event might be.

For me the reframe might go something like this " O Thou who gives life and takes life away, give me the courage to see how I can change in order to be part of creating the context where all create well being for all."

What else might be thrust into the  ether so that we move from zero sum thinking and winner loser thinking to listening to all the people so that all the people's well being is impacted?

Yes by all means pray to tamp down the incendiary and vitriolic discourse, and all the same pray for a chance that the Republic (not “ans”) be preserved. I still think the main originator of the latest such discourse be removed “far away from us” as I was thinking of the question the villagers in Fiddler on the Roof asked the Rabbi: “Is there a blessing for the Tzar?” After much thought the Reb prayed:; “May God bless and keep the Tzar . . . . . . .far away from us.” Certain parts of our body politic still need to be removed, but not by assassination, rather by the ballot box and the duly appointed court system of our beloved Republic.

Subject: [Oe List ...] A question
 
Dear Colleagues,
I have been feeling very sad about the complications surrounding the attempt on Mr Trump’s life.
I’m watching our flagship programme Four Corners.
A former Attorney of the Department of Justice is talking  about hard it was to ensure the Law was carried out, under the former President’s administration.
What is the most effective wording for my Prayers for your country at this time ?
If someone takes up my question, I will pray and fast at certain times.  
With love, in eternal hope.
Isobel
