Greetings Dear Reader,
This is a topic into which one could drill down for ages. The journey, however, calls me in another
direction. What might happen does bear
visiting from time to time. We are too
steeped in the philosophy of fear and a hedge mentality. We are in danger of becoming so walled in by
our what might happen thinking that we cannot see the value in our differences.
The idea that we can prevent wrong and harm by building
hedges and walls is an exercise in self-delusion. We can
only find peace and quality of life in loving others without condition or
exception. We can only build a quality
society if we treat everyone without fear.
Yes, terrible things might happen. There are people who wish to do evil and
visit harm on others. We cannot stop
them with hedges. We cannot legislate
them out of existence. The world will
not become better through division and segregation. I do not have to agree with everyone to find
the beauty and value in every soul.
I must not build hedges and I must find my way through those
constructed by others. I can crush any
barrier with love and kindness. I am
required to love others and it is my privilege to do so. When I invest my energy in that goal I find
that my own hedges are trimmed and I can more readily see my way past the
hedges of others.
Many bad things might and will happen. Fear of that is not what works. Fear of what might happen must not immobilize
us into neglecting the needs of others.
It must not keep us from being good to each other. Your company Dear Reader is always a part of
the joy in my journey home. Perhaps
together we can turn our hedges into topiary that invites others to see who we
are and understand our unique artistry.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
