Today I am remembering my fallen friends, Maj Megan McClung, SSGT Mike Dickenson, Maj Mike Martino, and Cpl Salem Bachar. . This is part of my daily struggle – I don’t believe in war yet I mourn all those who we have lost in these conflicts. So today I take a moment or two to remember everyone who has lost their life, limbs, brain usage, and soul.
My prayer is that we will wake up and come home. Please bring us home.
I took the photo below for a book cover I was thinking about writing. The beautiful woman is Capt Julienne Shin. Perhaps I will write it someday. The photo to me
depicts the fullness or whole-ness of many who serve.
More meditation is always a good idea.
In war I saw the devastation and cruelity of humanity at it’s worst and I also witnessed exhileration and tears of gratitude for the expansive love and generosity of the human spirit. In this space of great divided possibilities I captured many insights in the journals I kept. I thought about calling the book, “Slaying the Dragon.”
We’ll see . . . for now it feels too painful and stressful to dive into.
Beautiful. I have been thinking about you all day. We are flying the flag today with your name on the tag flying under it in your honor. And…in honor of
all our armed services who serve us all. Much love,
Ginger
Thank you Ginger for remembering and thanks to everyone who commented to me directly.
