Repeating a Thought

 I had two Zoom interviews today and worked on other stuff. Nothing of interest to share.

But I will post this again because it seems so important to me. Almost everyone in this country is currently angry at half the population. Many people are feeling pushed to the point where they don't see how they can even be friends with certain other people. I'm sure we all tend to categorize groups as people who all think alike, and perhaps even supposedly embrace the extremes of each position.

But I think there's a lot of characterization of others going on that isn't valid.

Here are the words of this benediction in case the graphic doesn't load. "May the quiet fire of God's love arise within you. May its flames of joy and peace enlighten your steps in this world, and may you be like the burning bush, the presence of God for each other, that holy healing light of love, the breath of God made manifest in you." I did not write this, but I wish I had. Peace and healing. may the quiet fire

Edited, wrote 824 words- Chapter 37 in Vacation from DMS, did other minor stuff in addition to the interviews.

A very good message. I know several people who are downright hateful if you have opposing views.
