Here is another saying that grounds me when hope is challenged. I choose to believe that the center will hold. I can’t prove it. It is an act of faith in the basic goodness of the world. I suppose it’s a risk but it is far better than the alternative. #hope #faith #tryingtimes

Another grounding saying, poignantly relevant to this sacred day and every day. Who will advocate for those in need (including when you are the one in need)? Responsibility falls to each of us to do what we can to make things better. I ask myself, will I answer the call? #freedom

When painful lessons are to be learned, I find my bearings with Maya Angelou’s words. We may avoid progress because we do not want to feel and guilt. But when we can admit our failures, we give ourselves a chance to begin again and do things better this time. #DoBetter

@JonathanShedler So true…but ouch!!!

Increasing violence in the world makes for very heavy hearts. Powerlessness, hopelessness, grief, fear, & rage. So I want to share some of the principles that I hold onto in such times, principles that help me carry on with tenderness and determination. #1 by Edward Everett Hale.
