For Eddy, with love:
My family is a rainbow of different races, religions,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, and political views.
Some are carnivores, some vegetarian, some drink
ginger-ale and some booze,
some like Broadway and some play the Blues.

We agree, and we disagree about how we live our lives,
teach our children,
gas or electric stoves and cars.

Some love animals, some are afraid, or allergic, or
ambivalent;
none of us is abusive to other living things.
none of us is abusive to other living things.
Some are far-sighted, some very, very myopic,
some are going blind, losing their hearing, balance, and wits,
but we are a family, and we love each other even if and when we disagree loudly, or only in silence.

This was brought into clarity for me this week by the
loss of a loved one who hadn’t the chance to say
goodbye.
Don’t waste precious time protesting the differences…
there is never enough time.
Someday there won’t be another chance to say I love you,
to say I’m sorry,
or the opportunity to say farewell.
or the opportunity to say farewell.
The HUMAN family, the GLOBAL family needs to realise that
we are one, while there is still any time.
