passed, the departed were remem- bered, as banners, flags, and radio-wave interviews filled the backgrounds of our Monday. Then there were the mosquitoes, North Korea's missile testings, outrage in the White House, talk of repercussions, UN imposed sanctions. Slowly, but surely, the enemy is defined, as very different from us, immorality incarnated, the embodiment of evil.
Meanwhile, much suffering is felt in too many parts of this small world of ours, as less than 1% of the global population controls, in the most carelessly selfish of ways, more than 90% of the global wealth, blinded by numbers, profit margins, the sanctity of markets, insulated from the cries of children, mothers, the old, the unemployed, the trampled, the forgotten, the used, the maimed, and the departed.
Then, there is music, laughter, friendship, love, the sun when clouds dissipate, the cool breeze on a hot afternoon, Oceans, mountains, hills, valleys, birds, cats, butterflies, ice cream cones, random acts of kindness, children playing, innocence and so, so much beauty...
Be well, as life spins from perfection to imperfection to perfection...
