[Mary Lou Jorgensen-Bacher]

Thank You Joanna Manning,
I too was very much dumb-struck last night.  I just could not see how people, in our WORLD, could come up with supporting D.T.  YOUR poem is GOOD,

Dear friends:

 

 

I did not stay up to watch the live results from the US election. When I woke up and heard the news, I was both stunned and numbed. I felt as though everything I have worked for during my life has been thrown into the garbage bin of history. 

When I got up and opened up my messages, I found this one from a list I subscribe to -unfoldinglight at freelists.org. managed by Steve Garnaas-Holmes. It has helped me a lot, so I'm sharing it with you in the hopes it may do the same for you:

 

When news is bad

 

Take seriously your grief.

It is love, stripped bare.

Let it flow through you.

 

Trust that you are held.

We all are held by the Beloved,

the Broken-Hearted One,

the One who Suffers most Deeply.

 

Know you are not alone.

Millions bear your sorrow.

Ancestors and even unborn generations

walk with you gratefully.

 

Seek others who are tenderhearted.

Receive all the grace you can.

In the flesh is best, but even in spirit, 

know we are here.

 

Trust the Goodness.

God has not given up on us. 

Through every disaster grace remains.

Refuse to despair.

 

Choose courage over selfishness,

trust over fear, love over anger.

You do not know the end of grace.

 

There is much you cannot change,

but bring healing where you can.

We are not promised to be given light, 

but to shine with light. 

 

Don't become an enemy of the world

and its brokenness. Stay tender.

Become a source of comfort and joy for others.

Let this purpose bear you through the darkness

and you yourself will become light. 

 

Let us continue to be people of the light wherever we find ourselves today and always.
