The Well Runs Dry (From time to time)

There are times when the well runs dry emotionally, when you just feel like nothing good is happening. I like to sit until inspiration comes, but this morning I have skipped the sitting part because I feel ornery. I feel bludgeoned by the threat of fascism taking over the globe. There is a definite trend for misinformed people to be led astray by the wrong Right. The Right is determined to take control of our voting process and the Left is doing all they can to preserve the rights of blacks and minorities to vote. Cruelly and unfairly, the Right presses on.

Before you get too bored with what I am trying to say, heed this warning well. Mother Earth is being destroyed by her children despite being warned about it for decades. The Indian prophecies are coming true.

For some reason, cruelty is driving the Planetary Bus and the Republicans are not allowing brown and black people to ride. But this is their planet, too!

The ex-President may never be thrown in prison for his myriad wrongs, yet Black Lives Matter people go to jail every day. His hunger for power is endless and his lies grow darker and darker as he tries to fend off justice, but justice will come. Good people are doing their best and evil is doing its worst. But the evil is within our own consciousness.

I had an emotional meltdown yesterday; today I begin new life. I have the chance to make it a good day, a quiet day, a reflective day. I can receive the manna of the moment, which is nourishing and faithful. Silence sees faithfully what words can never reproduce. It is a felt silence that I am after. “Be still and know” are words that hint at the power we carry within us. The “I am” comes to the lap of the Father and rests at last.
