Powerful sharing, Sharon. I needed this today. We all do.
In my brief time on the Planet (a few days short of 91 years), I have twice experienced being totally distraught about America. The first was on a train from North Dakota to California to wish farewell to my older brother as he prepared to be deployed in the service of our Country. The train was full of soldiers being shipped to the West coast. A sergeant ran through the train announcing the President Roosevelt had just declared war on Japan. The date was December 8, 1941. Through a child’s eyes, all I could think of was some murky sense of what that meant. But it was totally frightening and the purpose of our trip became blazingly clear to me.
The second time is now. Only, now, the enemy isn’t thousands of miles away. The enemy is us. I hope I will live long enough to have some sense that we are taking up the unprecedented challenge to rescue ourselves from that reality.
You are a priceless resource on behalf of that hope.
Oh, there are a few, Jennifer. Thank you for you thoughtful note. We are part of this remarkable community now and I'm sure we'll hear from each other again. Lot's of work to do!
I'd be lost without you, Sharon. Thank you for working so hard and keeping us engaged, informed, thinking and re-thinking -- and inspiring each of us to keep doing the next needed thing.
Thank you for sharing. I ordered a few new books based on this article.
I appreciate the work that you are doing, helping to add context to the events that are happening at lightning speed, and the chaos of information that rains down upon us. Please, keep helping, because that is indeed what you are doing. And thank you for inspiring us to do the next needed thing.
