Isn't it odd that...

Isn't it odd that many of the same people who will not accept Global Warming as a danger, at the same time really believe the world as we know it will end with a rapture and tribulation with millions killed while the dead rise from the grave to preside over a 1,000 year rule with Jesus...

Anyway, it is odd what some minds find unreasonable and even stranger what those same minds find reasonable.

Remember this...

 Note to self:

Parker Palmer observed in his magnificent commencement address that

violence is what happens when we don’t know what else to do with our suffering.”

Encounter a Poem

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

O my love, where are they, where are they going
The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.
