With A Heavy Heart

      My hands are shaking so bad, because of the chill in the air and country. People believe it is OK to use Nazi symbols, and Racist language. PEOPLE if you see someone doing this, stop them. We can look back and learn, but never go back.
     Garrison Keillor said, "Raw Ego and proud illiteracy won out." All politicians have huge Egos, they constantly need stroking. Raw Ego must be the worst! Like its not edited, open for display. Proud illiteracy is a horror to even think about, but think we must. No one chooses, no education, do they? The coal miners in West Virginia are just hard working people, who have very little education. You don't have to be educated to know what hungry feels like, or poor. We, all of us, have to do something about education in this country, in rural America, in inner cities America, we are broken.
    Sunday morning, I saw this man on TV say about why he voted for Trump, " Aint gonna say he's a savior but maybe he will help us out." Sad, uneducated, poor people, and we have ignored them. No wonder they are angry but.......these people cling to their guns and Jesus, and don't grow. Technology came in and the steel mills and coal mines, did not get on board. The needed to educate their people for future jobs, help them widen their net, teach people!!!
    54% of our country did not vote at all, that is beyond belief to me. I don't care if you hate everybody, find a reason to be a part of the solution.
   I dont feel angry about Mr. Trumps victory, I feel nothing. That scares me even more.
  It was a long, hard week of quiet reflection and prayer. My prayers are vague.
  We are so lucky to live in this country, but we all have to work hard at making it better, for all, not just a few. Not just the winners, all of us have a role to play. The stage is set for this new president to do........I don't know...good, I hope. Right now it just looks fragile, and fragile is something I know too well.
   Grief can make you fragile, unrest in society can cause grief, and there lies the circle.
   I carry a heavy heart, but in a really nice suitcase!
   I believe in people, I believe in you.
   It is a new week, filled with hope and promise, and crazy takes a back seat.
