We had a conflict in our midst, words were uttered which cannot be taken back; feelings were hurt. To this old shaman however, the lesson of gracefulness and eloquence of speech was once again repeated for learning. Life seems to use any and all tools at its disposal in order to teach us what we need to learn and learning is never easy or painless, and emotion is but one tool among many. If I can come out of any situation having learned patience, grace, compassion and such, then the pain was well worth the lesson, now all I have to do is REMEMBER!!
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
