How do you view the world around you? Are you wary and quick to take flight?

At this time of darkness and danger, the light shines through. Forces of prejudice, hatred, and division are daily realities for many in our land. But all is not lost, for as children of God we have within us the capacity to be the forces of acceptance, love, and unity. Will you be one to let the light of the divine shine through you?
Sign of hopefulness - I have heard people who feel they have been marginalized and not listened to for the past several years, accept and defend the feelings of anger and fear that the last election results have caused for others. People taking the first step in making sure others are listened to and not marginalized is taking the first step. Perhaps all of us will acknowledge and accept the real feelings of others who are different from us. The sooner all of us realize that we are in this together, rather than against each other, the sooner we will move forward as a society and nation. Share your hope by loving your neighbor, even when your neighbor and you disagree.
