Reaction

I read the paper (now the Washington Post) or listen to the news and the human part of me feels very reactive, angry, disturbed and upset. I don’t like what we humans are doing to each other or this planet. I keep thinking back to Williamson’s comment that "We will be given every opportunity to learn through joy, and when we deny ourselves that, we will learn through pain. But we will learn." I then pray, meditate and realize that everything is just fine, that the universe is in divine order. I also realize that reacting will not help the situation but that acting out of love, understanding and compassion will.
