It is being moved to action that matters. It doesn't always happen with me, and I am reminded to what someone said to me tonight, "the opposite of love is indifference."Stratozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148600260976577216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-39242819572172056712008-11-03T15:18:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:18:00.000-05:00Was that not Jesus -- the belligerent man in churc...Was that not Jesus -- the belligerent man in church, expecting you to throw him out; the bag lady trying in vain to stay dry; the soaking wet man in flip flops? <BR/><BR/>How are we called to answer That of God in others, who are suffering in ways none of us alone can alleviate? As Stratoz says, we are called to action -- but what action? <BR/><BR/>I lived in a neighborhood in Philadelphia with grand homes on one block and empty crack houses on other -- a very mixed neighborhood in terms of wealth and infrastructure. I worked in a desolate neighborhood in another part of town. Both taught me more about our interconnectedness as human beings, and that helped me keep my perspective and my center -- my hope -- when doing social justice work. It's that interconnectedness, and our sense of it, that are so vital. Not just seeing, but recognizing, the Divine in others.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201286586062722169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-76076444656050812072008-11-01T22:36:00.000-04:002008-11-01T22:36:00.000-04:00Sadly it is part of God's unfolding creation.

Taking the train there is a section we always see with homes falling into pieces.<BR/><BR/>It calls us to action.Stratozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148600260976577216noreply@blogger.com
