I will not be posting for the following week or so. The events, i.e., the slaughter of 17 children in Florida, as well as the disappointment that we have a president as we do ... well, I want more time for introspection. I am tweaking my volunteer work since never before have I felt that the health of our United States, and subsequently the world, depends on anything we can do to help with feeling....... with love and respect for one another.......
It can be as simple as a letter expressing how we feel as citizens, or to confront the dishonesty in many places.
An image which remains in my mind is of the two girls, dead, who were found holding hands. Stay with that for a minute. Stay with it........
The shred of comfort in that image is that each did not die alone.
The pain and anger of the survivors calls to us to, somehow, join with them to support them in any concrete way that we can......
