Absence of Will


It is obviously possible to rebuild continents and countries with the will of the human spirit.




I wonder when and where we will address why we have not chosen to end shelter and hunger as issues for all people?








Passionate Commitment


Because my Father was born in Edinburg, Scotland, we grew up very aware of the Second World War, the shadow of which cast itself across our consciousness as children. There were books, especially ones with pictures of the city of London, destroyed.




During my first and recent visit, every place I looked in that city, produced a sense of awe toward the human spirit. Is there anything we cannot do, if we set our minds to it?








History


The home where I stayed for the majority of my recent visit to England is three hundred years old.



I wonder if there might be a connection between the experience of years and access to tranquility?
