Mendes remarks

[Rebekah Scott]

Everyone seems to be so edgy and aggressive these days!
How about a collective deep breath, and a flash back to the silent setting-off sensations of an early morning in Galicia. Those times and places, the sensations of foot-bones, pack-straps, and water bottles were so much more significant than which pol was running for what office.
The sky was rosy, the fog was lifting, and we all had 15 miles to walk that day. Politics was another world, irrelevant.

Another thing to remember as the Sept. 11 anniversary arrives is that is also Mother Teresa's unofficial feast day. It's so much more redemptive to ponder her giving nature (in the face of overwhelming odds) than to once again revisit all the hate, despair, and horror of that day in 2001.

Politicians, wars, and leaders come and go. It's important we do our part, but smart people don't let themselves get crazy with it.
