Yeaaaah, you can fool some of the people some of the time, and the Chicago Pope NONE of the time. Speaking truth to power might seem easier if you believe you're God on earth, but the example being set reminds us anyone can do it - steadily, calmly, repeatedly.
Mary Lee, your poem is straight-forward. I watched the news tonight and had to listen to another sound-off about the Pope. I am so glad that the Pope can deal in a calm manner.
Phew. What a comparison. Pope Leo gives me hope. I am curious about what you are learning with each day a tricube. I am enjoying knowing the structure to expect and seeing how you use it daily. xo

ReplyDeleteSteadiness is glorious these days! Speaking peace, not backing down-- a balm.
