Meet in the...

The Stormy Present

1/13/2021

Picture
President Lincoln's words
from 1862 certainly resonate today.

"The dogmas of the quiet past
are inadequate to the stormy present."

We are currently swept up
in the storms of the present.

Last week's assault
on the capitol leaves
our nation's collective
hearts broken
and our heads reeling.

"...We must think anew,
and act anew."


We need action.

We need answers.

We need accountability.

And then 
we need to work together
to create a path out of this morass.

​"We can only succeed by concert.
It is not, "Can we imagine any better?'
but "Can we all do better?"


We need to heed Lincoln's words.

Our nation depends on us.

Some of my friends...both red and blue...are removing themselves from any who speak for the opposite side. This is such a dangerous place for our country. We must keep talking to each other. Only through dialogue can we find a way to live together.
Thanks, Purple Living Room for trying to hold the middle.
