There are so many paradoxes and crossroads informing
reflections in my life today:
---The joy, love and wonder my family is
experiencing at the birth of twin boys – my grand nephews. This is augmented with further FB reflections
wishing that parents and grandparents who have passed over could be physically
present to share the joy of welcoming these two beautiful lives to the physical
world. --- (I know that they are with
us in spirit and rejoicing with us, though we cannot see them or touch them in
the physical plane. )
This joy at new life is juxtaposed in my
thoughts with all the news and video about what is going on with planned
parenthood.
The news about the lion who was killed is
juxtaposed to cute cat photos and video posted all over FB. I think about this and reflect on the affection I have for my two cats -- my joy
at their constant companionship.
In the midst of these momentous events, I
am reading a compelling theatre script about a Jewish lawyer forced to defend a
skinhead who has perpetrated a brutal, senseless murder against an innocent
Jewish man.
My heart is full. My mind is racing. And I am grateful for opportunities to learn,
grow and improve my awareness and understanding.
