Enduring good.

What a paradox this time is.  It's so quiet at home and so noisy in the news.  The best thing that we can do is to stay home, but that feels like we're not doing enough.

We have been going to the Unitarian Church in Bloomington this year and I have appreciated their calm, comforting messages these past weeks.  Today, they sent this quote:

"May these words from author Clarissa Pinkola Estes be part of what holds us, in the weeks and months ahead:

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good."
