Don’t Miss Out

Poetry for Palestine

Get off your seat

Hold on very tight

Your fractured wings

And tearful soul

Meander outside

With a limping heart

A dreary story

A sack filled with pain

Wander in a meadow

Hug a weeping willow

Kiss a sleepy flower

Sway with the breeze

Flung open the gates

of your weary heart

Exhale all sorrow

Breath in the Light

Send waves of love

Up up so high

Violet and blue

Paint pink the sky

Awe struck in wonder

Bathing in splendour

Draw the world a rainbow

Up above the clouds

Watch God’s glory

Cascade like rain

Watch God’s wonder

Cascade like rain

Watch God’s love

Cascade like rain

As noted in Becker’s Hospital Review, nearly 1.8 million US workers called out sick in November. The peak absentee rate was 2 million in April, and we may see that again. […]

Sacred Study Saturdays, Unjust Laws, and Adulting education

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

The US Constitution, for US citizens, is a sacred document that all Adulting Education must emphasize to form a more perfect and inclusive Union for all of us.

Many laws in our history have been resisted as unjust, from the Enclosure of the Commons, to the Cherokee Removal which was litigated successfully by the Cherokee nation, to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, to the recent Muslim ban.

In the 17th century, from whence this popular folk song comes, litigation was not an option for most people, so they resisted in rhyme:

Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose

And then as now, community cooperation on a very wide scale was key to winning the freedoms promised in our foundational documents like the Magna Carta, the Constitution…
