I have it on good authority that Tim's birthday is coming up on the 19th. Since he does so much for all of us, shouldn't we plan some sort of a SURPRISE celebration for him?

I think there is a lot of wisdom in what you say. I'm not much on religious allusions, but here's a thought I had earlier today: In the book of Revelation, St. John talks about the four horsemen of the apocalypse: War, Famine, Pestilence and Death. I think we are up against a new four: Hatred, Fear, Ignorance and Greed. So we need to meet hatred with love, fear with confidence, ignorance with wisdom and greed with caring. I'm willing to give it a try.

It is hard to be so wrong. Wrong about how much frustration, anger and hatred people are carrying in their being. I have seen this in other nations; but never believed it was so true of this nation. Pointing a finger at others being the problem reveals three fingers pointing back to me. I want to repent, to turn away, and forge another direction for the sake of those with pent up emotions and deep pain, but I don’t know how.

I am searching for what would make a difference. When I turn to organizations that lead in the issues I feel are important, the language used is ‘continuing the FIGHT’ … ‘fighting on’ and I have no motivation for fighting. The reaction of ‘an eye for an eye’ seems so archaic. What are the lessons I/we can learn from the messages of this election? How can I/we embody love and care for the deep divisions that have been starkly revealed?

I want to learn and turn to creating paths that ensure a healthy earth. Our angst is preventing us from hearing Mother Earth speak to us of the crisis all humans face as we use up the earth’s resources and pollute our water and air. My prayer this evening is that I/we pause, that I/we take stock of our missteps, and that I/we embody a new spirit of care for each other and the earth.

In peace,

Karen
