It strikes me this morning that though I am aware of some surface activity going on in the world, I do not really know what is going on — and that is just fine. I listen to NPR for a few minutes each day and I also read some of the “Washington Post” so I have some idea of current events, what I am calling surface activity. I limit my exposure to these sources because I do not want to be convinced that is the whole story. I also meditate for several hours each day in order that I might make contact with the “unseen” part of the atmosphere around and within me. It is during meditation that I sense the love, strength, peace, anxiety and fear in the atmosphere. That is part of my reality but I do not really understand it.
