A venture at some comfort, from someone who deals in uncomfortable news night after night. You do not have to solve all your problems. Nor are you responsible for fixing the troubles of the world as you know it. Take no responsibility for the behavior of others.

Were simply called to live, and take faithful action, one breath at a time. No one stroke of our HUMAN hands becomes a coup de grace. I see much news unfortunately made by people taking too much into their own hands. Revenge, street-justice, a fight-for-whats-right-dammit mentality -- all these threaten to send us face down, ego and all. See below from a meditation offered up by Father Richard Rohr.
