"Lets just say we are in a race to the finish for our human souls"
I would add that we are in a race to find our souls before the finish of our material being and it's pursuits.. our shallow self pleasuring, in what once was the untouched, beautiful, mysterious garden of Eden.
That is so cool that you are a descendent of the founding fathers...They do not teach you all that much about them is school, but last year I took it upon myself to take another look. I learned that they were extremely brave; some paid for their courage with their lives; and others with their wealth. Our founding fathers are exactly the example we need of how to NOT be lazy and compliant.
What a beautiful and thought-provoking piece...The Founders did not foresee that we as a people would be captured by a malevolent technology that distracts and distances us from our hearts and souls and even our ability to reason. We have grown lazy and entitled which is not our natural state. (We would have perished long ago if this were the case.) And you are so correct when you say that we are in a race to the finish for our human souls. I believe that a big part of the problem is our removal from nature as our inspiration. Nature does not simply exist, it claws and climbs to LIVE. We need to nourish our souls and LIVE...thank you for the reminder!
'Nationalism' is so yesterday! Or even the day before.
I'm not saying Trump wouldn't be an improvement, he would, but it would lead right back to 'NAtIONALISM,' and that would be bad. Setting us up for the same old thing, and any idiot knows only fools relive history.
Yes! We are part of this Creation and God is part of us.
Great article KW!
