When we look for what's best
A reminder of what we can accomplish when we look for what is best in ourselves and each other.
All dark paths lie elsewhere.
Time to use our freedom for something worthwhile.
My too often nonsensical and forever unenlightened reflections on people and life and everything else I understand as well as I understand everything else. Not well at all, in other words. Love thy neighbor, is my motto. Unless something better comes along. Make sure to say so when you find it.

World's awash in assholes. Time for something better in this world. For all our sakes.

It's been beyond time, for a long time, that we took responsibility for the ugly direction our country and world has taken. Turn things around. Make the world genuinely better.
As I watch the blame game in full swing, might I suggest that in lieu of left or right, on this matter, that we consider the example of someone like Jack Johnson. Or Stephen Covey. Or their example, perhaps. Someone like Jesus of Nazareth.
And focus on the beams in our own eyes.
I'm as guilty as anyone else. I aspire for love and understanding. And I've fallen, too often, into anger and impatience. My whole purpose, at this point, is to help us all see how there is much to discover and understand from one another. And I've fallen short of that too often to count.
Jack Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were killed in a similarly scared, aggressive and hateful period.
Gabrielle Giffords avoided that fate, thankfully. Six others, including a 9-year-old girl, did not, sadly.
It is time we take responsibility for the ugliness. To give it up. And make the world something more beautiful. For real.
It is possible. It's just about us getting honest with ourselves about us.
And isn't that the most important truth of all.
Sing it, Jack.
