Sticks in a Bundle

We need a huge drink from the ‘unity’ cup today, I think.  At the moment our U.S. Senators and Representatives in Congress are at odds with each other.  

In the name of self-preservation we protect our domains and that very act is what divides us.  We splinter into smaller cell groups and become self-absorbed.  We lose sight of the bigger picture – the great whole.

What to do and how to remedy?

At the Gates Foundation here in Seattle they have a sign on a wall:



One lowly twig is easily snapped.
A bundle of twigs tied together – virtually unbreakable

It’s called “asking for help” and also “let’s work together.”

... Something to think about for all of life.
