Thoughts on being sad....

Throughout the past few weeks and even more, there have been so many good people, even saintly folks, who are struggling with cancer. Today, it really got to me, and mid-day, I came home for an hour or so...stuck myself under the covers and slept from sheer exhaustion of speaking and feeling with those who are suffering. Their pain is deeply felt by yours truly, especially, since I journeyed along this path, and know the sense of dread, that one feels when confronted with the possibility of mortality. And there are so many new families who are undergoing the trauma of cancer. A wounded healer reaches out to each and everyone of them with a prayer of hope for their victory over this dreaded disease. We will have a special prayer of anointing on January 31st mid day..... just to let everyone know of our love and concern.....It just makes me sad to see my friends in so much pain.....

Some American Thoughts....

Hello

For sometime, while I knew America needed a drastic change, I wondered about the level of experience of Barack Obama. The past few days completely changed my hesitation. First of all, the inauguration ceremonies and the massive joyous crowds was like a transcendent experience. As an American living in Canada, I was proud to see so many people come together to celebrate and to inaugurate a new era. His immediate decisive actions bespoke of a maturity beyond his years. The graceful touches towards the Bush family only added to the dignity which he carries himself. And it is nice to see a young family in the White House.....headed by two obviously intelligent and caring parents. May God protect them and bless the USA. Both are needed in these trying times.....Prayer!
