Thursday, 28 December 2006 - Truth and those who will heed it

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for the truth and those who will heed it.

Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.

~Wallace Stevens


Perhaps the truth about the Iraqi war will penetrate the hearts of our so-called leaders if they stop what they're doing this very minute and go for a long walk in the woods during a blizzard. On second thought, given who they are and their unwillingness to accept the consequences of their actions, maybe not.

(Thank you, President Ford, for speaking your mind about the war. You helped heal our nation after Watergate and Vietnam. Who will step to the plate this time? May you rest in peace.)

Just the same, for this blessing, I am grateful.


Amen.
