after yesterday’s perfect storm with the ground moving and shaking us to the core, with nothing to hang onto, i call today to be a global day of stillness, of pregnant pause but today the perfect storm complete with earthquakes and tsunami happens across the globe on an island of Indonesia with their aftershocks and yesterday’s aftershocks still reverberating…

in this space of nothing to hang onto, one hears the prayers to allah and a voice calling for a slowdown on a vote of confirmation and i slow down as well…

may we pause supported by the wings of our better angels and stand tall and true…

namaste’
