WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Good Advice for This Time, All Time

Rumi is one of my favorite advisers of all time.  This verse might have been written to help us heal in the aftermath Sandy Hook and from all the turmoil around gun reform.  Since Rumi was born in the 13th Century,  this wasn't written for our time or circumstances.  But thank you, dear teacher; we need all the peace and calm we can get right now.

 

This is Rumi translated by Daniel Ladinsky and posted on Facebook this morning by Joan Borysenko. 

 

A VOICE THAT CALMS

A voice that calms, movements that calm,
eyes that quiet- dreams that also do the
same, and enliven too...

Be a precious donor of peace and hope
Give love to all you meet,

for so many in this world are being torn
apart.
