I’m incredibly happy that our democracy held. The fake, cruel, and destructive agenda did not hold. In fact, it caused its own demise.
I keep remembering our mandate going forward. It’s the same as it was last week. It will always be our mandate. Feed the hungry. Welcome the stranger. Care for the sick. Visit the prisoner. Love your enemies.
I keep singing “One Love” (Bob Marley) to myself. Is it too early to hope for that?
One love, one heart.
Let’s get together and feel alright.
Hear the children cryin’ (one love)
Hear the children cryin’ (one heart), sayin’
“Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright.”
Sayin’ “Let’s get together and feel alright.”
I keep thinking that principles really did win out over party. And that white supremacy and fake Christianity were soundly repudiated. And that all of this, the political, the spiritual, the pain, the loving, can work together for good.
