Finding Peace
The election will be over and we can, at long last, beat our political posters into plowshares. Will you be content regardless of the results? Coping with the elusive equanimity of spirit we hoped would accompany things going our way is a challenge we all must face.
Battles have their place, but the peace between battles must be handled harmoniously and with a serenity that fosters civility - even among those who severely disagree. The hangings in effigy, midnight beatings among neighbors, vandalism and artful digital gesticulations against pedestrian billboards must cease.
Soon (too soon for my taste) the next election will beckon us to once again participate in the process and we will all re-arm - hopefully with only thoughts and arguments, but for now we must resign to our destinies. By the end of today, the people will have spoken - but from a deeper perspective, God will have spoken.
