āThe wisdom of nondiscriminationā is something I've had since childhood. It was never "taught" out of me. In reading different poets, I've seen the theme of being able to say you might be wrong, or the need to be able to change your mind. This is one idea where I will hold, though. As the yoga sutra says, believe in a higher power or don't. If you do, be sure that higher power is a good one. (Pardon my extreme paraphrasing!) So, if I believe in God (or the universe or whatever you choose to call it), then it follows I must believe God (etc.) made everything, everyone. None is better than the other and all are sacred in God's view. So, I choose "the wisdom of nondiscrimination." This is a short version of my thoughts, but you get the gist.
As for John Williams, I love that the musical piece that came up after today's selection was titled "A Prayer for Peace from Munich" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPW65znzwqA
Love hearing your gist, Karen! And thanks for sharing that lovely piece of music, which I will have to spread! (No coincidence. Meaningful synchronicity!)
I think I got more into the album cover...š
Sacred Elements
Air that lifts the soaring Eagle
Earth of mountains high
Water that falls as pure snow
Fire of passion for peace
Sacred Connection
And then...
I think Right Hand needs to say, āIām sorry. Please forgive me.ā
And Left Hand needs to say, āYes. I love you. Thank you.ā
...The power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
I'm struck by how you often integrate so many threads of a day's offerings into one creative response. Love how your mind/hear/spirit works!
