A letter from the Editor

Dear Friends:
In an effort to go on with the events of life, and as difficult as it is to reason that anything at all has importance, I, like many, struggle to prevail. Daily I talk myself through the labyrinth of disbelief and enter into a clearing that wants only peace, only God.

So inept am I, that all I can offer is prayer. Not a prayer for leveling the scales, but a prayer for healing. Human sacrifice, human frailty, human injustice, human kindness -- what are these, I ask myself, without some relationship to the whole?

In the largest cosmic sense, all that I say and do ripples across our lives in some collective force and waits for an answer. I shall put my prayers to sea, place my ear upon the earth and wait for that answer -- may it be peace and may God bless us all. OM
