Prejudice

As we have seen this past week, prejudice - going both ways - is alive and well in America. In this land of stars and stripes, freedom and apple pie, it seems so incongruent with who we say we are and what we say we stand for, it almost leaves me speechless. Really, I can't make heads or tails of the negative energy people put into such hatred.

Still, while it all sure gives me a very heavy heart, I must say it also strengthens my resolve to keep on contributing to the positive side of life. It's the only way for me and I thank God for my still loving, caring heart in what is almost my midlife. If I can go to the grave (or the ocean, actually - I want to be cremated and my ashes let go in the wind at sea), feeling like this, I'll be thrilled as I would've lived in love and in peace.
