Notice in the second photo they show all the signs that say G7. G is the seventh letter of the alphabet. Ironically (when you consider the location), I wrote about this years ago: As I Was Going to Saint Ives

Dead in the Water, story of the USS Liberty

54 years ago, Israel tried to sink an American ship. I might have posted this video before, but it's worthy of posting again. So many Americans don't know this happened, and if they do, they think it's an accident.

Infiltrate, Divide and Conquer

I've been involved with a lot of well-meaning organizations over the years. One thing I've noticed (because I'm hyper-aware of these kinds of things) is that there are always people who seem to have all the time in the world and go to every single meeting like it's their job. Even though they don't seem to be genuinely passionate about the cause, they try to seize control (or at least the ear) of leadership in these organizations. They rarely put in the mundane, boots-on-the-ground kind of work that make these organizations worth anything. They tend to be a drain more than anything else, squashing good ideas, making meetings more about protocol than fun, and pitting good people against each other. Some of these people are probably just jerks, I know, but ... what if they're getting paid to do this? Something to think about.

"You've gotta care."

UNLESS

Someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Nothing is going to get better.

It's not.

-- The Lorax

Father's day is coming up this month, the 3rd Sunday of June in most countries, including my own. I remember the best advise my dad ever gave me. As a child I was being petulant about something and said, "I don't care!" And my dad said, "You gotta care." He said it with such finality it stuck with me. I knew it was a life lesson that made all the difference in the world.

We often get what looks to be conflicting advise: "Look before you leap," and "He who hesitates is lost." For the longest time I've been confounded by the seeming conflict between the spiritual ideas of detachment and compassion. How can you care and be detached at the same time? For that matter, what's the difference between forgiveness and letting people walk all over you? There is a difference, but I'm still learning what it is.

This morning I reflected on this. An image popped into my head -- the Tarot card "Strength." In the Rider-Waite version, a lady lovingly holds the lion's mouth. It's as if she's conveying to the lion, "I love you so much I'm not going to let you to hurt me."

"Some people are better loved at a distance," I remember one of the Minimalists saying. You can care about someone or some cause without letting it burn you out. The Serenity Prayer comes to mind:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

This is a life long lesson. As I said, I'm still learning it. But you can't turn your back to everything that's unpleasant in life, you can't close your heart to things that might be unpleasant. You can acknowledge them and determine what you can and cannot do about it, and not worry about the latter. Easier said than done, I guess, but that's the best we can do.
