March; what a month, what a beginning!
We weep over those women accused
and killed in the Salem Witch Trials. We
honor women, both famous and infamous
around the world as it is Women's History
Month. Ash Wednesday and the New Moon
simply put the icing on this amazing cake!
I imagine these women of yore, looking
on incredulous as we verge on war, world
hunger, rampant killings and homes burned.
Indeed, they would wonder if things never
change, or what they bothered to fight for.
The questions today might be, "What am
I willing to fight for? How may I do so? In
what ways may I stand up and be counted?
What is my legacy to our young daughters?"
I recall that bit of wisdom, "If you only do
one good deed a day, that's still 365 good
deeds in a year." Overwhelmed with the
current state of things, it's too easy to give
into that nothingness of inaction.
Sooooo not who I want to be when I grow
up! I will poke and prod my brain to find
little ways I can do a 'daily' for others. If
we were to all chime into action . . . just
imagine those concentric circles ever
broadening and expanding across our world.
Pray I rise to the occasion . . .
