A Pause.......

Even now in the twenty-first century, the question remains, what is really in our control and what is not?  The nature of human fallibility requires that we answer the question, why we fail at what we set out to do in the world.  One reason may be the "necessary fallibility."  Some things we want to do are simply beyond our capacity.  Thus we should...

.....Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteous, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Much of the world and universe is--and will remain--outside our understanding and control.  Even with all of our technology, there is still ignorance of the unknown.  Science may have given us only a partial understanding of the world and how it works.  The intersection of science and theology gave us the Theory of Everything (T.O.E.) and yet there is the question of "necessary fallibility."  Maybe its ineptitude where we as human beings know that the knowledge exists, yet we fail to apply it correctly for many reasons that in include inequality in income, healthcare, marriage, hunger, etc.

Weaving the lives of citizens into the rich tapestry of America where "We the People" find grace to stand in solidarity with all of the people in this very diverse society.  This requires a shift in the collective consciousness on planet Earth where our love of community exceed the fear that is perpetrated by a small group of individuals who have systematically concentrated wealth to control the masses of people.  Perhaps the greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction and find humility in an ever emerging and transending world.
