I am taking the rest of the day off from news.

I am signing off for the rest of the day.
Today when I think about guns,
when I think about Syria,
when I think about politicos who infuriate me,
when I think about the students who are in such pain,
instead of riding the tide of fury or despair or anxiety,
I will take a moment to notice the feeling,
then go and focus on where the energy or prayer must go.
I am not even doing a public gratitude list today.
Know that I am grateful,
especially for you,
for all the light and wonder,
all the hope and energy,
all the passion and intensity
you bring to my life and to the world.
Walk in Beauty, in Peace, in Salaam, in Shalom.
