my guess is that
some of the recent "bitterness" and "sniping" on the list
has made us a tad tetchier than normal
and this season with its overlay of expectations
realistic or manufactured
can only exacerbate
that tetchiness
in all of us
regardless of how we are currently 'coping' with our 'lot in life'

however
you and camilla and jerry and cyberdad have all just communicated
your thoughts and feelings to me
via the miracle of our time

i feel always and ever blessed by that miracle
and refuse to throw out the baby with the bathwater

[how's that for metaphor mangling?]

regardless of the scientific and/or historic details
the message contained in the words
"love your neighbour as yourself"
is universal and eternal
but
we have to learn to love ourselves first
and
that may be the toughest part of all

if we know ourselves to be lovable and therefore loved
we will know ourselves to be beyond attack
and therefore incapable of attacking

i wish peace and love and joy for us all
