The Maybe Queries

 RantWoman has a task.


RantWoman is seeking Light from others about whether to do the task as offered or to reiterate and reprise what the group chewed on last week.


Below is Plan B, such as it has come to RantWoman


Well known US bloviator (sorry, not sorry for the word choice) Francis Fukuyama wrote an article after the Soviet Union fell apart declaring "the end of history," which I interpreted as universal liberal democracy breaking out everywhere.


From Pope Leo Xiv
In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist

En una sociedad competitiva, donde parece que sólo los fuertes y los ganadores merecen vivir, el deporte también enseña a perder, poniendo a prueba al hombre, en el arte de la derrota, con la fragilidad, el límite, la imperfección. Es a partir de la experiencia de esta fragilidad

In what respects do we see history rising up and kicking us in the rear all over the place?

In such an environment, where are voices of continuing revelation needed most?

Do Friends feel any call to reflect on:

the military parade, the 250th anniversary of the army, the President's birthday and the #NoKings Protests OR about the celebration of Pope Leo Xiv in Chicago? Should we add various very hot but not yet nuclear wars, ICE raids, the depradations of a senile President and his, cough, team...?
