Hello to all, our patience may be tested as we watch the world struggle through the transition from a reliance on external power (money, politics, military) to the acknowledgement of the authenticity of the heart. But have heart, people are basically good.
Speaking in generalities, those who do horrid things to others are most often driven to it. Drugs, environment, peer pressure, cultural influences can all direct a smiling child into a difficult adult. But during a natural catastrophe, or even a personal assault, the instinctive responses of those who come to help show the truth of humankind – we are made in the image of something good.
May we sit this evening for the faith to trust in our natural goodness. May we calm our minds that we may hear when assistance comes. May we see the turmoil of the world in the terms of 'growing pains' with loving patience – and be of service when we can.
Thank you all,
Richard
