I have never felt so grateful for having subscribed to a publication, knowing that my money will flow to where it should go. And that my heart will also go to where it should go. I was thinking about how so many of our ancestors were actually nomads, packing up and leaving home and traveling to where they could find sustenance and setting up shelters from the elements. My Choctaw ancestors were known as the bone carriers, as they actually moved the bones of their own ancestors with them when they moved on to a new camp. But that was when there was scarcity of resources rather than abundance. We humans inherently and desperately need community, a home, even when it is temporary. These folks, living on the shadowy edge of plenty, have managed to create community with so little. But we who have homes cannot manage to extend our tents to hold all of those in need. I needed reminding. Thank you for your restless heart, as you can't rest while there are those in need. And thank you for showing us practical everyday ways to help. The vastness of ignorance and cruelty in country may seem beyond help. But help has to begin in our backyards. Again, thank you.
Carol, thank you so much for your subscription which allows my hands to be full when walking into someone else’s temporary home. And thank you for your story of the bone carriers, your ancestors. How extraordinary. Thank you for seeing what it all means. May I share your comment?
