Lessons In Hope - Finding Light In Times Of Darkness

We are living in challenging times. Warnings have been sounded time and time again about the climate crisis, and we still have not achieved the unified approach needed to preserve the planet as a livable space for all who live upon it. We have not achieved a peaceful and harmonious world community. There is a growing sense that we are falling into petty nationalism. History teaches us that by working together in hope we can overcome our difficulties.

Much appreciated reminder of the ultimately progressive arc of history, in these dark times that try the souls of all.

Tony, I listen to this reflection of yours often! I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it yet!
It’s really difficult for me, day to day, witnessing the ongoing disgrace of the Trump administratiin, and wondering who in my neighborhood is on either side—both sides have been whipped into such a frenzy of fear, nobody displays any indication of their views. Other elected leaders have proved complicit or impotent to resist the daily onslaught of firings, arrests, harassment and insults to former American values. It makes the world contracted and hollow.
I keep to my practice, my walks on the beach, and continue to enjoy my part-time job at a museum, where we all support education, protection of knowledge and human rights.
So there are always beauties and comforts in daily life.
Thanks for this, and your many other reminders to see the good in life and contribute what I can.
Much love,
Donna

Thank you, Tony. Giving people hope is essential, particularly when the dark seems so all-encompassing at times. Namaste.

A beautiful reflection and I love the bird sounds .

Thank you so much.

As an American, the last two months have been incredibly difficult. Thanks for the reminders and the glimmers of hope that can keep me moving forward and not into the hopelessness and inaction of despair.
