Thursday evening ponderings.... Seeds for transformation??? On my
extended walk about tonight I was thinking about the horrible division
in this country. It came to me that perhaps we can start to heal that
wound through finding a non-partisan common place to coordinate
mourning, contribute various resources, champion the human decency
regarding those that have given without personal regard and those that
have most unfortunately paid ultimately as a result of the pandemic.
Support for families, scholarships, legal and financial help, mortgage
relief, grief counseling... In these times a virtual place would be a
good start and I think it should also ultimately be associated with
physical places. As a for instance, in Japan after the earthquake &
tsunami , they established a telephone booth like kIosk for people to
vent their feelings at a seemingly remote destination. It has become a
place of pilgrimage. I am certain there are many among our
underutilized creatively gifted that could contribute much to the design
of a potentially most trans-formative experience that could redirect
our ailing society towards a better life experience for all. Peace and
Love...
