Dear Friends,

The coexistence of opposites: this morning I recall Charles Dickens’ quote “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”—will we recommit as a wise and just society to the purposeful caring of our planet and all of its peoples?

I have been gazing at the ripples on the water ….

and seeing waves…steadily growing, one after the other…they are calmly drawing near, yet still

…keeping on coming, growing, then

individually bursting, releasing the tensions held within …

Until perhaps gentling, integrating brilliance, become that which we can be.

Intermingled in beauty.

Kind wishes,

Louise
