Dear editor,
I am not constrained to write this letter but I am prompted to do so especially in this time of what seems to be such a political condition of total disorder and confusion chaos a vast abyss or chasm. I share this writing of Nancy Newhall from Earth Prayers, to lift hearts and spirits.
We seek a renewed stirring of life for the earth
We plead that what we are capable of doing is
Not always what we ought to do.
We urge that all people now determine
That a wide untrammeled freedom shall remain
To testify that this generation has love for the next
If we want to succeed in that, we might show, meanwhile,
A little more love for this one, and for each other.
I suggest that we insert the word a lot in place of the word little.
Respectfully,
John Wesley Skillings,
Iola, Kan.
