Evelyn shares six words to tell your children: “This post is years old, but I have to write that last night my 6 year old son and I went kicking a soccer ball. It was tough going in the dark after dinner. At one point I had to do some weird contortions trying to get the ball and he laughed and said, “I love watching you play.” It was such a wonderful moment! I was in awe of how this little being had grown up and expressed so much kindness to me, accepting me for who I am, my foibles and lack of coordination. ”
Beth B says this about something beautiful you read: “This is from a poem that was included in a condolence message when my father passed away: ‘And the moment someone said, ‘There, she’s gone,’ there were other eyes that saw her. We watch it coming, and other voices are about to let out a cry of joy: “She’s here!” (From “Gone From My Sight” by Henry Van Dyke)”
Jesse says there is good in this world. “I remember being taught the ‘paradox of tolerance’ in school when I was in high school (about Nazi Germany, of course).” To be tolerant you have to be intolerant of intolerance; To continue, society must also be intolerant of intolerance. ”
