(79,008 posts)I really like your response. Very nice.
Last Friday, I was in ceremony from morning to evening. I found myself thinking of the prophet, Black Elk, from the Paha Sapa (or Hesapa), and the circle. How as an old man, this sacred Elder viewed the cycles that bring change to the circle. And his concerns for the future, as he knew what the next few cycles would bring.
I thought about the two recent episodes of domestic terrorism....one at a Planned Parenthood, and one involving the young Islamic couple. How the PP episode actually poses much more of a threat to American's daily lives. How some in "powerful" positions believe, foolishly, that this type can be controlled, in ways it is beneficial for their selfish, individual needs.
I'm thankful that you have been "looking around" for the past 15 years or so. I enjoy comparing notes with you! I've been "looking around" for quite a few decades now, and am convinced that we are entering the most dangerous period since WW2. (The Cuban Missile Crisis ranks high, but that 13 days was relatively brief.) I apologize for now handing up a better world to the next generations.
