"When one is considering the universe, it is important,
sensible even, to try and find some balance between
laughter and uncontrollable weeping."
Ella Frances Sanders
BRAIN PICKINGS
At times, my human body suit refuses to stretch as far as my soul wants to soar ... up into the light realms. Imagined weightlessness, no confinement of thought, body, or mind the spirit expands away from the heaviness of the world.
Avoiding all political trash, one can dig hard enough to discover an illuminating story of someone doing good for the land, the air, or fellow beings. The good example inspires us to do a bit of our own extended kindness, especially when anonymous.
We can release the darkened picture of the future world our grandchildren will face, and unwrap the layers of decencies forbidden to children and the elderly, and turn our vision to the sky. For hours we can stare at the configurations in the clouds, hoping to find a sign to eliminate despair.
