sadness

Clare,

Sadness.
Violence breeds fear and sadness.
Instability.
Blame.
Proud claims of responsibility…
Cowardly posted on social media.

Beautiful Paris…
Terror at the American band's concert…
and German soccer match…
Simultaneously thumbing their noses at 3 "enemies".
We shall overcome.

How do we take the love of the creator and twist it to justify killing innocents…
perhaps the governments aren't innocent…
but those dead were not responsible for drones or strategic bombings.

I still remember in 1990…
at my office…
watching live news feed of the US…
yes, us, bombing Iraq.
Civilian casualties…
unintended collateral damage.
The US is no better than the rest.

I have had a strong desire to move from this country.
It only respects individuals with money.
It does not serve its own people.
It marginalizes its poor and different.
It rains war whenever it pleases.
And yet, I do not know any country doing better.

I've heard discussions about George H. Bush's memoir…
it "exposes" the horrors of Dick Cheyney…
they all played a hand in the troubled Middle East…
but everyone needs a scapegoat to lay the garbage on.

I will be holding all of these beings in the Light.

Sadness.

Love and Light beautiful sister,
Maggie
