26. I'm so sad these days I'm pretty much out of words...

Oct 2023

But this morning our daughter texted this to my husband and me.
I’ve been pretty choosy about who I’ve shared it with so far — hope you don’t mind, but you just made the cut.

Two peoples, one land,
Three faiths, one root,
One earth, one mother,
One sky, one beginning, one future, one destiny,
One broken heart,
One God.
We pray to You:
Grant us a vision of unity.
May we see the many in the one and the one in the many.
May you, Life of All the Worlds,
Source of All Amazing Differences
Help us to see clearly.
Guide us gently and firmly toward each other,
Toward peace. Amen.

A very well constructed limb you're on, sir. ancianita Oct 2023 #41

IMO Hamas declared Total War on Israel when they came across the border to slaughter civilians EX500rider Oct 2023 #43

that approach really did wonders in Iraq and Afghanistan bigtree Oct 2023 #45

This much is obvious: Before Hamas sent their first missile into Israel, They knew what Israel's reaction would be. world wide wally Oct 2023 #47
