Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
What matters? To me, it's the well-being of my family, friends, community, and world. At a minimum this means that everyone is entitled to food, clean water and air, adequate housing, health care, education and opportunity. Inequities and deficiencies have been highlighted during the pandemic. Systemic racism and privilege at the expense of others are more apparent. The lethal effect of toxic government is highlighted. The need for radical change is quite clear. Many people have stepped up to meet the crisis and some believe we will be forever changed but I have my doubts. We've been here before. How has my response changed? I feel a greater sense of urgency to do what I can to help bring about change, now but even more so in the future when I can get out. Currently I'm donating more money and attending some zoom meetings about issues in our community. At an entirely different level I think I'm better at not sweating the small stuff, in other words figuring out that so many things don't matter. This doesn't come naturally for me! When a little bird ruined my prettiest pot of flowers to build a nest in it, I just laughed. I've enjoyed watching her sit on her four little eggs in the brown and dying remnants of my flowers. --Terese
