Perspective

Maria and I went to a spot near Sunset Crater that overlooks the Painted Desert this afternoon, peaceful, solid and very enduring.  This morning we attended a Friends meeting, also having the feelings of being peaceful, solid and very enduring.  Both contrast markedly with the disturbed feelings I spoke of yesterday and put those feelings in perspective for me.  The fact is that humanity is learning and growing and, like a young growing puppy, humanity will do some harmful things.  The universe was telling me that everything is and will be just fine, regardless of the choices humans make or the outcomes that follow.  As Ehrmann said “whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.”
