The sun is setting here in the West and another turbulent week is coming to an end. As I reflect on the week, there is not much to be encouraged about. We were still reeling from the senseless killing of seventeen people in a Parkland, Florida high school when we became more sickened by the reaction of some to further victimize the young protesting the gun madness in this country by demeaning them and devaluing the authenticity of their grief and concern. On top of this comes the notion that the gun madness should be exacerbated by arming teachers as an act of deterrence against the insane coming in and shooting more kids. It seems, at times, that madness is being compounded by more madness.
For various reasons, I find myself contemplating the meaning of life more and more these days. In doing so, occasionally I listen to music to help me to come to understanding. This is one of the songs that lately I tend to listen to on a daily basis. It brings me comfort. Maybe it will bring you comfort as well.
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins
