“Brought up in the post World War II bubble” struck me. I was, too, and from my perspective in 2025, I think that bubble was an illusion based on my privilege of having been raised in a comfortable white, middle class environment in the US. Thank you for your beautiful words.
Yes, and amen. Remembering the words of Jesus when he told us in John 16:33, there will be all kinds of trouble but take heart, he has overcome the world. May we cling more tightly to this hope today and always.
We surely are, all of us, poets. Whether we realize it or not, our best life is found in listening to the gentle voice from heaven, the One who promises forever, the One who walked on water and silenced the darkness, the One who abides within believers everywhere. Our best life comes from knowing the beautiful of His gentle voice... and the whispers of most every poet can be heard in the wind's soft healing, the Lord's glorious grace, the music of the spirit who knows He can heal us. Only He, never a politician. God bless you. Your voice is beautiful!
Beautifully written in such unsettling times Linda. Some days it’s a struggle to make sense of it all but I’m quietly observing and appreciating the blessings I have been graced with. 🙏
Thank you , thank you ❤️

In hindsight, that bubble does seem like an illusion. It was fragile and it surely has popped.
Indeed. Sometimes in the midst of so much chaos I wish for my comfy illusion like a recently sober alcoholic might crave a drink.

Amen, Debby.

As is yours, Regina.
This is beautiful!
Thank you, Tara.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
We are not him.
True that!
Easy does it, Linda. Yes, we all are in this together.
And what a gift it is to have friends to join arms with, Len.
Amen, sister!
A beautiful response, and I'm so happy your country made a good decision.
Thank you, Becca.
So much goodness, so much gentle wisdom in your reflections today, friend.
Thank you, Linda. Wishing you a peaceful day.
Lovely thoughts, a morning gift for me here. "If it feels too heavy, put it down". yes
Thank you, Jan. Have a peaceful day.
