Wouldn’t it be great if each of our lives came equipped with a truck with a giant suction hose to suck up the garbage that collects around us and ship it out of town? Resentments—slurp! Fretting over things we can’t change—slurp! Petty frustrations—slurp! And off they would go, leaving clean streets for us to drive down.
What would you like this spiritual garbage truck to vacuum up and take away from your life?
Right now, I have so many concerns about the sad, unproductive, horrific state (plus a few other adjectives) of our nation (and the whole planet) that I’d like to swish it away in one swoop, but I can’t. Even though I’m finding that my physical ability to march, protest and be directly involved in supporting my political position is limited, I will think of other ways to testify about my concerns and beliefs.
