Summary: Lately I've been pretty quiet as I've read and watched leaders using vile, unkind, language across our country. People are threatening to shoot others and in some case are. Protests are turned violent by masked unknown soldiers similar to what we see in Russia and other places where disagreement is treated as disloyalty and put down. In the midst of this, a terrible virus plagues our country and the world. The virus reminds us we are all equally vulnerable, as do the loyalty tests that allow it to run rampage. We need as a nation to decide to what are we loyal to: God by whatever name you call God, I prefer "LOVE," or Politics with its fickle policies and leaders? I suggest Loyalty to LOVE. Had people been loyal to love and treating others the way they want to be treated themselves in the same situation: Wearing masks would be natural and intuitive---no one wants to get sick or have someone else get sick;Guns would remain at home unloaded and uncocked rather than a "go to" solution;Dissent would not be met with violenceNo one would be called a name for expressing his/her opinions because no one wants to be called a name by others for expressing differing opinions;Respectful words designed to unify the United States would be the norm for our leaders not name calling and cussing;Governors would have a national plan to follow in response to the virus that dignifies all, not one to demonstrate loyalty to a national leader; andThere would be no need for protests! We have lost sight of our values and misplaced our loyalty to love one another with politics. FEAR BEGATS FEAR AND JUSTIFIES UNLOVING CONDUCT. SEE MORE IN OTHERS THAN THEY SHOW YOU: THE DIVINE SPARK OF LIGHT PLACED THERE BY GOD AT BIRTH. NAMASTE, GOD BE WITH YOU, m
