I’d like to share 2 quotes. First: “If you want to save the world, save your little corner of the world.”
While watching the news last night and the jury verdict against the MN officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, thoughts and emotions quickly ran crazy. I was happy to see protesters and attendees gathering in peace and remaining calm. Whatever your thoughts are on the subject or which position you take, we can all hopefully agree to be happy that peace is present. With all of the emotions, we can become overwhelmed. However, we cannot fix every city throughout the world. Concentrate on your neighborhood, work, school, parish and City. If you can save everyone in your town, then move on and expand. But, for most of us, there will always be plenty to be concerned about within our local regions.
Second: JFK once said “We need men who can dream of things that never were.” I believe he was referencing civil rights or the space exploration program, but the same theory can be applied to almost every component of our lives. Just because the world has always done something one way, does not mean there aren’t better ways.
Naked Man Moleskin
We set out on an adventure together to pave a new path down Hillside. Apologies for losing a few at the intersection where Hillside turns left abruptly…I really tried to catch up to @Glenn, but man is he fast! Sorry for those in the back that got confused, but hey, we all made it back on time. Thank you to the 15 PAX who came.
