Perception
Our world seems to become smaller through technology and, I realize that our need for tolerance toward each other must grow larger. Hate and anger can only bring destruction of the worst imaginable kind. Never shall we forget the day when such anger and hate came to our land. We must remember always - in honor to those who so bravely served…and those, who perished in absolute desperate attempts to survive. We must grow in wisdom and discernment for naivete will only open the door to destruction again.

Looking through a grid
built by all of life’s experiences,
I see the world shaded;
somewhat clear here,
not so clear there,
but always through my formed design.
How does life look through
someone else’s framework?
Quite different, I am sure!
Somewhat clear there,
not so clear here,
but always through their very own design.
~Viola M. Jaynes
That’s a great one, Viola, and so true. When each of us remembers and respects this truth, we do well by each other.

Agreed — that was a very succinct little verse there.
