On October 8th I wrote on this Diary of the Worm about learning a lesson from the garden to respond, not to react, to life. In October a number of friends have responded, not reacted, to these postings. Since a person that checks these postings occasionally probably does not check back for responses, I would like to highlight some of the responses this month.
On my October 1st post about Trespassing Our Conscience, my friend Omar responded about how we must become aware of trespassing on our consciences and respond in our everyday lives.
On October 3rd Brian, my friend, responded to the posting on the Option for the Poor that when we practice compassion we lessen our own poverty.
On October 6th Bob responded on how homicides in Milwaukee used to be treated as a ‘huge deal’ but now are ‘ho-hum’.
Finally on October 10th my friend in Texas, Dave, gave some fascinating bits of history about coffee houses and the early patriots’ preference for coffee over tea.
We all deeply appreciate when friends respond. Thank you Omar, Brian, Dave and Bob. Responses by all are always welcome.
