Abraham heschel, the meaning of this hour. years ago when I created this site and ever since I find this essay probably the most Godly can't say I've ever seen. But it has only gotten worse in the 80 years since heschel wrote this.

The best that can be hoped for now is to preserve the tiniest bit of goodness in the world that it might help goodness in the future be known, by someone.

I watch America die, their kids future mutilated, at the hands of good Americans that just f****** sit and watch.

Am I doing more harm than good? Exceedingly harsh I am in my life and in my communication face-to-face. Marooned in Yucca Valley......
Am I doing more harm than good? Exceedingly harsh I am in my life and in my communication face-to-face. Marooned in Yucca Valley...... diagnosing electrical problems, waiting for parts, for nearly a week, this is an almost festive place. Almost an outpost I would say. Happy people. That's a mark of sickness. Who can be happy in such a suffering world except for a clinically sick individual? But within the sick individual might be the seeds of Health. Constantly out with the vehicle in the open doing repairs person after person drives up and in some form asks incredibly thoughtless questions, is it electric? Etc. I'm growing. My primary horror is not at the stupidity, the thoughtlessness of the questions so much anymore. I'm growing. More and more I'm instinctively clear that the opportunity in front of me is not to be incensed at the stupidity of the questions. The opportunity in front of me, regardless of how small, is to try and jolt the dead hearts that can be happy and clueless in the face of such horror, to jolt them to life, to resurrect them to life. To resurrect them from the dead. It's possible I'm doing much more harm than good. But that is not my assessment. I believe that my understanding of how to resurrect hearts and my courage to do so despite personal isolation is increasing.

The work, the need, is to resurrect Souls, Hearts, from the dead. Jesus died exhorting us to this work. We couldn't, wouldn't, and don't see it even now. Especially now.

What makes the true revolutionary? The refusal to cower or surrender to the evil spirit destroying all creation. Embodying courageous loving, the spirit of creator

To the gun worshippers: If I were emotionally impotent, if my heart and compassion were castrated as yours obviously are, if I lacked Humanity, decency, if in fact I cared not a fig about the life of others, only about my own pitiful selfish little life, I would feel just like you. I understand.
