God is so good and I don't regret a single moment of living or learning how to love beyond my means.
Stay in Gratitude

Resolution in Senate Apologizes for Slavery

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwOBC5bG08k&NR=1

I listened and was touched in my heart. I am touched at the effort made to right an un-rightable wrong.

I read over some of the reactions to the resolution and it hurts me to see how deeply the pain and reaction of hatred runs through so many people. For some, NOTHING will ever be enough. NOTHING! I concede that it is not a "perfect" statement.

Republicans, however, were supportive of the resolution. "It doesn't fix everything, but it does go a long way toward acknowledgment and moving us on to the next steps to building a more perfect union, doing the things that Martin Luther King would talk about, like building a colorblind society," said Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) :The Washington Post

With all of the disparities and wounds that have been inflicted, the disease that has been caused and the rippling effects that have ensued, I am touched by the humility and presence of spirit that it takes to make such a statement by the individuals and the collective of authors, implementers and supporters of the effort; including those who over many, many, many years, whose names are yet unknown, tried and failed to make such a thing happen. Their victory has finally come. It is a single and yet priceless victory in the long journey of things that still need to happen over our lifetimes.

Careful not to allow a reaction stemming from deep seeded anger and distrust to keep my heart, mind and spirit closed to healing, I am grateful, and I thank God to witness this.

Today's Revelation

"To let God rebuild me after I let you dismantle me takes humility, courage and faith, but most of all a true learning of love. Stay In Gratitude!"

Message for Freind, and Me

for so long as i choose to lay still and allow pain to have its way with me, it persists..the powerful never simply relinquish reign...a more powerful force must exert itself and usurp that power... I choose to let that power take the form of love, motion, family, adventure, friendship, fun, joy, worship, dance, music, reading, writing...there are soo many possibilities my love. and i love you

Endeavor

in my own skin
in my own eyes
in my own mind
in my own spirit
in a room all alone with no one around
listening to the sound of my own breath
THIS IS WHERE I
ENDEAVOR
TO BE MOST ACCEPTED

"Endeavor" I choose this word with specificity. For I 've come to learn through experience that liberation is an endeavor. An endeavor to strip myself of the mounting layers of conditions piling up, compressing and encrusting upon my being.

Stay in Gratitude

The more I speak the words, the more I love their sound, the more I know their worth, the more I feel their truth...STAY IN GRATITUDE!
