A letter to my American neighbours, sisters and brothers
Dear friends,
What has been happening in your country is beyond imagining: the hatred
the fear; the bomb scares this past week; this morning’s deadly shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh; the lack of concerned / caring / pastoral response by your leader in the White House.
You may feel alone. You may feel helpless. You may feel frightened as you have never felt before. You may not have the strength or courage to face “the next.” Please be assured that there are people around the world who are holding you all in the Light; are praying for you; are “with you” in spirit; are hoping and praying and encouraging you to vote in your mid-term elections in numbers your country has never seen before.
May you vote with hope. May you vote love, not hate. May you vote.
June Maffin, a friend and one of your northern neighbours who aches with you and prays for you all.

Thank you, this is beautiful. I sometimes wonder if Canada wouldn’t be a better place to live. 😉
Thank you, Janice. Canada has its good points (and those are *very* good) however recently, we too have been experiencing a rise in ultra-conservatism in politics, religion, conversations in families/among friends/with neighbours/at work and while the rise of fear is slow for ourselves and getting higher for our American neighbours with each day, the fear is rising for ourselves – and the world as European countries seem to be following similar lines.
I just stumbled upon your facebook page and was led here. So glad I followed that path. I love your blog and this call to live together in peace.
