Footprints in the Windsm # 1216–We in America have lost our way

Footprints in the Windsm # 1216

We in America have lost our way. Perhaps we in the whole of the earth. We have lost our heart, our vision. Surely we are perishing. Perishing in a world of hate and division (di-vision?), of people too moderate, of holy wars and physical killings, of genocide and homophobia, of refusing to see the other as our sister. We have no longer the pride in our melting pot, no longer the songs that call us together, no longer any brother-feeling. A choice we do not see, maybe do not want to see, lies before us: we can jump into this endless slough; or we can do the hard work of moving us all to higher ground. If we choose the latter the only way, the only way, is the work of finding and meeting and freeing the higher that is common among us. Therefore we must get out among us. We must meet people and be open to the surprising in us. From here arise new hymns and songs.


Please pass it on.

A robin on a snowy day

On this snowy day, there is a robin on the little tree between the pond and the garden! Either this one is early or late or confused!

Cast your line into the water

I can be your guide, but you’ve got to cast your line into the water.

All life is guessing

Law is not solely about the technicalities: it goes beyond to what works, what is apt to work, and where peoples’ hearts want to go. All life is guessing; we must work also with art and heart.
