in their words about him


conjuring another time
a moment not so distant
kindler, gentler,
more merciful, more civil

in their words about him
remembering his vision
of a world kindler, gentler
more merciful, more civil

“Cindy McCain helped lay a wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
at 9am today ahead of her husband's funeral service at the
Washington National Cathedral. People have since left flowers,
American flags, a paperback book, POW hat and
homemade signs honoring the military hero.”

9/1/18 - Twitter Moment during funeral for Senator John McCain
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great." — Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain  #McCainMemorial
&
comment of Susan Glasser
“Make no mistake: the applause ringing out at the Cathedral when
Meghan McCain says 'America has no need to be made great again
because America was always great' is not standard.
Never heard applause at a funeral here before.”
&
emblematic of the escalating rhetoric between
President Donald J. Trump and John McCain
since the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries
and continuing after Senator McCain’s death

Breathe Your Peace upon me - 2


Breathe Your peace upon me,
Lord, my God and Savior.

Shine Your light upon me,
illumine  my path, my way.

Watch over us Lord
in the chaos of the world.

Give us peace Lord;
may we have peace in You.

Breathe Your Peace upon me - 2

John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
 I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Isaiah 9:6
“For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Be Careful – v3


Be careful what you say and do;
Each has consequences.

When you pull the pin
and throw the grenade
people die; there is chaos.

That is a grenade's nature.

Lies cause ripples in time;
They have consequences;
That is their nature.

No lament, no sorrow,
just a stark warning.
