After Action Report: Joys and Sorrows / Concerns

Joys and Sorrows are not particularly supposed to need an after-action report. But Literature Brain showed up. RantWoman apologizes if anyone who recognizes themselves feels mischaracterized. The point of this excursion is how RantWoman adds up messages.

Friend 1. Holding in the Light works ...cancer treatment...1 year. Clean mammogram....
Difficult spells are sometimes difficult and can take 10 years.

Friend 2 who previously offering a Hold in the Light request for the event referred to. Holding in the Light Works: two-hour non-violent witness against white supremacists wanting to disrupt a public event about humanitarian activities on the US Southern Border.
(RantWoman to herself in irascible curmudgeon mode: but what actually got said INSIDE the event.? And Awesome nonviolent witness inspiring RantWoman to further steadfastness in the realm of statements about the proposed public charge rules designed in RantWoman's estimation to deter immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers from applying for services they or their US citizen children may be eligible for).

Friend 3: Oh Come oh come Emmanuel earworm.God with us. God among us.

RantWoman: cue Fathers and Sons, tag Joys and Concerns in stream:
--Repeated request to be held in the Light

--JOY: Many people are doing things that make a difference

--Concern: Is RantWoman called to speak to neighbor in spirit of "What's up with that?" about neighbor's bulling behavior toward younger neighbors. All are guys with disabilities? Is the point of the meditation as much "What's up with that?" as anything else?

--Concern: A piece of info RantWoman is not supposed to know. An older about to retire source who, in RantWoman's opinion SHOULD KNOW BETTER" and a younger early in career person who has no idea. at all about the issue on RantWoman's mind."

--Joy: Blind Family, now adults who had imperfect and acerbically remembered Quaker caseworker. MUCH was less than ideal and the family grew up to be a strong family, good at self-advocacy and with skills to help out elders trying to wear too many hats.

--Joy and Sorrow: Newcomer (overcome; RantWoman is especially cautious about possible mischaracterization, partly because RantWoman was touched by conversation afterward and does not want to scare ...away.)

--Joy: Friend 4 who has been away: school is going well and I was able to visit two elders it is hard for RantWlay to see anytime but Sundays.

--Joy Quaker Dad: children did wonderful creative things with plastic lids that were not recyclable. Someone would have to be a WAY bigger curmudgeon than RantWoman not to be delighted with.


Paraphrasing, Voice of Elder: RantWoman that was too long and too much request to be held in the Light and I do not want to discuss.

Okay, Friend. Thank you for your opinion. RantWoman will be entertaining the thought that you mean there is no room specifically for RantWoman to request to be held in the Light. Charitably, RantWoman thanks you for the information that you missed her point. That probably means others missed her point as well. RantWoman will hold in the Light thoughts of further revelation.

In Light and Faithfulness.
