Our differences
magnified & distorted
warped realities.
Fear hate & despair
weaken the foundations of
our democracy.
Let’s cooperate
together we can achieve
a great life for all.
Let’s take down the walls
separating you and me
now it’s time to heal.
Time to Heal

Definitely agree! I can see that clearly, the US has not collectively admitted they have gone too far with electing Trump, considering the number of white people who voted for him! Also, I am happy Trump is not re-elected, but we need better than “not Trump” now!

I’m glad our citizens chose healing and new start. We do have a lot of work to do on all levels; medically, socially, economically and for the climate.

Rebecca, our task ahead is, indeed, enormous, but we cannot afford to flinch.

I feel this is a watershed, and that as long as we focus on working together we could make good progress for justice and peace.

Very true, Rosaliene. The division has become a chasm, the last thing we should do is to widen that chasm.

I agree, Bill. The wider the chasm, the greater the likelihood that we the people, regardless of our political affiliations, will all be consumed by it.

Laudable sentiments every one, but let’s hope that I’m wrong when this silence reminds me of the beginning of HG Wells’ “War of the Worlds”…
“intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”
Not too sure about the “intellects vast” to be honest, but I bet the “slowly and surely drew their plans against us” is not too far wide of the mark.

Thank you for sharing your lovely words!!… believe there is change in the winds with people having enough of anger and conflict… technology will help others, like you, share thoughts with the multitudes and overcome the closed minded ideologies that have created those walls and conflicts though it will take time… “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ( Mother Teresa)… 🙂
Hope all is well in your part of the universe and until we meet again..
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true
(Irish Saying)

It’s time. More than overdue here in SA. Given the 1994 elections, the progress and then the regression. Some days, even as I live in hope, I live in fear. The days are dark then. Prayer helps as geography divides.

Kavitha, living in hope helps me to keep the darkness at bay. As you’re experiencing in SA, human progress is short-lived. And, in the process, millions have been left behind. Blessings, sister ❤
