World is going in both directions
Perhaps, just perhaps, the world is going both directions: down to a terrible abyss; up to a brighter future. It depends on us, and we are pulling in both, really in all, directions.

There is much to do, we cannot know the outcome, still we can add our bit of gratitude and peace and love.

Holds the whole world, sister and brother

Old truck bumper sticker:
The old truck had a bumper sticker: “Give war a chance.” Mom told us It takes all kinds. How do we love “even” those? What’s in the human heart that finds kin in war? What’s in us? Are we attached to the notion of peace and know not peace itself?

A common path
Eldering gives us a common path leading to a one-way threshold, and we do not all stop by the same stations on the way. There is no wisdom that all harvest. Some attend, some engage along the way, some roll along kicking and yelling. All fulfill. We each have some choice, as do the people and circumstances we meet, and chance plays upon us all. It is a privilege to notice life along our path, to share it with others. Some will understand. Some will know they need to notice.
