Help Me Understand

 

 

Historically, in Somalia, during periods of drought and hunger, the poorer tribes used to be able to get assistance and food from the wealthier ones.  Now that the country is divided along religious lines between Islamic and Christian traditions, no one is providing that emergency aid.

 

 

 Can anyone please tell me how any of this is a reflection of God or Allah?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Mouse In The House

 

 

During the past few days a very small mouse has been making his presence known in more and more blatant ways. Last night, he poked his/her head around a bowl sitting on a sideboard, not six feet from my desk. It was as if he/she wanted to see if I was going to be friendly. The mouse just sat there and we looked directly at one and other.

 

 

My Buddhist friends will be pleased to know I cannot imagine killing it.


 

 

I wonder if my landlord, who lives in the same building will see it the same way?  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Tides

 

 

Each day the tides go out and come in roughly six hours apart,

predictable years in advance.

 

 

How is that anything except miraculous?
