Thanks Mags for your post. Hopefully, it will help everyone re-focus and
start over. I've been thinking about the all of the problems lately and
believe that it's no different than real life. I used to watch the news
every day, but now sometimes it gets so depressing that I take breaks for
days. Sometimes, when tensions are strained at work, I just want to quit
and drop out of society. If I hear an awful story about animal abuse, I
want to hide my head under the covers and cry. The point that there is so
much negativity in the world, we just have to work harder sometimes to find
the good stuff. Joni's music (and music in general) is one of the best
things about life for me and the reason we are all here. When it comes to
spirituality, I find it in a beautiful melody, a line in a song or book that
makes me say, "WOW," a work of art that breaks boundaries, being out in
nature, and the magic that can be found in human relationships. I'm not
saying that all of this is easy to find or that life is fair or great all of
the time. We just have to take the good with the bad and the ugly and keep
on going......
