RIGHTEOUS WONDER

We Westerners have lost the ability to frame the significance of our own little lives. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditations," October 26, 2025

Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place...Fr Richard's quote describes me now. I feel as if I have lost the ability to frame the significance of my life. 

Actually, today, and for some time now, I am focused on America...For America. For America, land of the free, home of the brave, God bless America and all who live here and love it. Or want to. Live here and love it.

I am a World War II baby...a passing thought of that time in my life and I am there...not even three years old but knowing Something Ain't Right but Daddy and Mommy would take care of my sister, my brother, me and America. As time passed, we sang God Bless America a lot...and believed in America.

Oh, how I wish that today we could all have that sense of righteous wonder without the fighting, the hate, War. 

We can all have that sense...we just need to lay down our sword and shield, i.e., change our mind. Which we cannot do on our own...we must go to God for God, with a want for peace in our heart and trust in our head. 

That is a small order masquerading as holy. It is not; it is of God is all...Is All.

Thank you.
