One: God, remind me of my neighbor,
take away my pride.
Two: God, remind me of my power,
don’t let me run and hide.

This one has a lot of meaning for me today. Questions involving a ‘neighbor’ on this earth and what I ‘owe’ — no answers but to remember my power to talk even if they won’t or can’t hear.

Truth is always a pleasure to speak. Sometimes it’s obvious.

Ooo-this one also hits the mark. especially “God, remind me of my power”. it’s getting harder for me to believe in one’s personal power to make any but tiny differences in the face of the huge troublesome iinjustices that are out there. I think Ican try searching harder for my light under the bushel. Thanks for the post, as always.

Susan, you don’t have far to go to find your light. It’s not under a bushel. Those who know you see it shining among us here and we’re blessed. A rare combination of honesty, compassion, searching, and gentleness is always a lovely light. Let it shine.
