The Lost

photo by Ernst Schade


Yesterday I was traveling, as I looked out across the landscape, for whatever reason, it reminded me of Africa. I looked up at the sky, blue with large white clouds, and I had that feeling of being connected to everyone who shares this earth in this generation. For a moment I closed my eyes and I felt so much peace, and I wondered if within that instant the entire world had a moment of peace. Some pause to all the chaos, some reprive to the wars that are waged against us. But as I opened my eyes the realization hit me that within that moment countless children had been victimized, women had been brutalized, men had lost their dignity. Humanity suffers. We've all lost our way.
