Navigating the Wonder & Horror...

Folk #1: "The Wonder and the Horror. The Goodness & the Terribleness. That's the Human Thing. You have to somehow navigate through it all. How to make sense of it? Beats me.  Maybe, doing the best one can? You know, Spike Lee's idea: Do the Right Thing. I do think we Humans have a made a total hash of things. We are not a very intelligent species, we are also very selfish, short-sighted, and can be brutally vicious to each other. It makes one tend to want to cultivate silence. Step back into a state of Mystery & Grace. Seems like a retreat, but, you know, maybe, probably, a necessary retreat? Aware. Alive. Awake. Living in the Moment. Cautiously seeking the Wonder & the Goodness, turning away from the Horror & Terribleness. That's all I got this morning. Looking forward to our local No Kings rally & protest later this morning. It's a sleepy, prosperous, generous town. We will be standing shoulder to shoulder with our fellow citizens. A small gesture. Thinking everything hinges upon it. Who knows?!"
