I love the idea of walking each other home within the context of Gandhi's satyagraha and King's soul force. Those two have been companions to me for my whole adult life, and I am edified and sustained every time I read and remember them. Thank you again for this contemplation, Ian! Blessings on your week ahead.

Thank you Hans. Yes those two have moved me again and again and again. They are a light for me about what we humans can stand for and be. Thank you for all your efforts with and in your congregation and community. I also grieve for your Representatives murdered, and honour your efforts to stand.

I love the thought that we walk each other home with love and with a kind open heart. The world is a scary place these days and it warms me to my core to read your words.

Thank you Diana. Although having an open heart does not solve all the problems and the world is indeed a scary place, I think it is critical that we invoke a perspective that evaluates what is happening from a place beyond just the scary time and space. Thank you very much for your kind thoughts.

Your written words help to offer a translation of how to understand and the face the fear with intelligence and evaluate the behavoir we see in order to gauge our own reactions.
