March 31, 2020-
I made a pledge to myself, sometime back.
I will ever support sincere efforts to bring
people together.
I will ever oppose tyranny, obfuscation
and gaslighting,
regardless of their premise.
I will ever support the dignity
of the individual.
I will ever oppose bullying,
whisper campaigns and
“cleansing” of whole
ethnicities, nations,
denominations.
I will ever work to
safeguard the rights
of children and youth.
I will ever oppose those
who deny our young
a voice in their own affairs,
or worse yet,
ignore their needs
for education,
character building
and affirmation.
I will work to
help expand
consciousness.
I will oppose
mindlessness.
You are being to be admired and emulated.

Gary — You are one of the most trustworthy people I know. However, not everybody meets your standards of trust, and, particularly in times of stress such as we are all experiencing now, it is often wiser to hold well back from those making pronouncements that you are supposed to trust. There are many in this world who are ready to take advantage of people’s natural trust, whether political, monetary, or spiritual — please hold back and let people earn your trust!
