“The greatest challenge of the day is how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us.” (Dorothy Day) Considering the state of things, it’s no surprise that so many folks — so many of you — feel angry and demoralized. These emotions manifest in many ways but are writ large in comments sections, well…
Fred Rogers was an inspiration. I recall making fun of his way of speaking, when I was a smart aleck, but his sentiments were gentle, kind, and workable. I've always respected Dorothy Day's journey, even if I couldn't find the same path she did.
Hoping laughter is more contagious than fear...laughter seems to spread a bit faster, but really, that vid also alluded to how very contagious the fear has been, or whatever the opposite of laughter is. This indeed is a marathon, but please don't run if your jabbed, get a d-dimer test from LifeExtensions.com for 80 bucks, no doctor involved. Eat chelating foods and stay away from 5G if you can. Working on getting a hand held meter, saving the shekels, about $250. We are being microwaved esp. in the cities.
I've been thinking a lot lately about the triage metaphor you used (literally from an experience at an outdoor festival and how it impacted a bunch of us)... how each of us with our unique skills and reach as it were can do little or big things to shift the needle/tide/vibe/law, etc. Like MLK Jr said in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. , "be the thermostat" (not the thermometer)! Speaking of the Church, he wrote "...not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.” So while we note and catalog all the BS, it's equally or more important to enact change in the atmosphere and make this place more hospitable! Thank you for your post! PS: I also love Mr Rogers. :)
'Puckering if not plagiarizing Theodore Parker, Martin Luther King intoned, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
'Though one of the dumbest statements ever, it’s often quoted by Americans, but what do you expect from such a self-congratulating and oblivious population?'
Sorry, I'm just not hopeful of taking down a class of people who have no problem with killing individuals or masses of people as well as poisoning the environment. Yes, I totally believe we need to do whatever we feel called to do to make our tiny corner of the world a better place, but I have no illusion that it will affect the gangsters who rule the world. Yes, they will fall eventually, but so will we all.
Be wise as a serpent
