Holding the Tension of the Opposites


Holding the tension of the opposites Is the theme of my day. 

How such a beautiful spring can exist at the same time 

as the horrors of this pandemic rage and so many precious lives are lost? 

Fellow human beings stretch to death in an effort to stem the tide 

by tending to the sick, become ill themselves and another sacrifice is made of a

brave and valiant human who didn't have to be there and is now gone.  

Did you know, sacrifice means "make holy"?  (a tiny consolation)

Those of us who can sit it out in a limbo of solitude and isolation 

in solidarity with those fighting the battle for us.  

We cry out in sadness, powerlessness, and grief as we witness the suffering.

And our love washes over the world in a wave of comfort we hope can be felt

by our brothers and sisters in the trenches, wishing we could send them all

they need to be protected, strengthened and supported in their bravery and courage.  kas
