It's challenging to find an uplifting thought for today.
My spirit feels battered from the harbingers of doom
echoing loudly in the public square.
It feels naive to believe the often silent and invisible river of goodness exists
and is mighty enough to overcome the forces of fear and division.
Yet, I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet.*
Water dissolves ... even acid.
May the water of the river of goodness dissolve the acid of hate,
the acid of fear, the acid of inequality.
May the ripples of dignity and fairness transfigure the landscape.
Namaste'
*Leonard Cohen, Democracy Is Coming To the USA.
