Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
The adventures
of Juts and Wheezie in Loose Lips offer respite from work
and life. Between their squabbles, ambitions and relationships, a thread of
humanity connects the characters.
News wreaks of
missing links, Paris, the latest tragedy, human loss. Closer to home, illness
and challenges of family and friends draw concern.
Individual
self-respect, taking care of each other, and using words to settle differences
builds bridges of understanding.
The sun
dutifully, even joyously, rises each day. The moon and stars offer light in the
darkness of night. The universe supports us. Hugs heal.
That thread of
humanity can be fragile or mighty, lost then found, timeless and timely. It is
in us and connects us, friends, family, and foes too. When strained by the few,
the many respond, in prayers, helping hands and with the assertion that we are
better together.
All my best,
Loraine
