It’s only a small loss

It’s only a small loss if we do not what we can—or is it?

we fail to see we are all possible

There is a sadness here when we fail to see we are all possible. We can improve how people are treated in later years; we can be world class right here in South Bend. When we dismiss this, or rush to move beyond our possibilities, people are hurt, not least of all ourselves. We can make this conference a difference-maker. We can do; we are possible.

Found compassion in myself

Found myself having compassion for the people in our committee, and some sadness: we are in a place where we can make a difference for our community and for our members, but we cannot see that we have the power (or perhaps the time to use the power—which means the inclination to use the power) to change things, nor that our members do. Sad, because we are the only people we have. I want to keep this compassion going, show it.

Tagging, dismissing, killing

Tagging, dismissing, killing
in a single word
it takes effort to open ourselves

Footprints in the Windsm # 1520–Why are poor people a threat to the wealthy?

Footprints in the Windsm # 1520

Why are poor people a threat to the wealthy? Why is it bad logic to have everybody share the wealth of the nations, company, community? How is ingenuity curtailed by sharing? Do not people create for the creating that is in them and must be expressed without reference to gold bullion rewards? Do you hug and smile only for cash? Does it have to be that either you or the other has ample or to spare?

Things I have not heard before

There are many things I have not heard of before—including things I read last December.

Why do we stand in their way?

These people have present abilities
real potential
desire for great change and good
Why do we stand in their way?
Do we, like they, believe it is not possible?

We have a duty to our members

We have a duty to our members—they are looking to us to carry out this task of leading them—all of us—to a higher level of service. How are we doing?

Evil is a freezing

Evil is a freezing of larger capacities—and we do little to thaw ourselves.
