“I’ve been a nurse for over thirty years. I’ve been a midwife at Kaiser for 23 years. I love it but I worry that I am complacent because it is so comfortable. How will I know when to move on? What will I move on to?”

“I think ‘How will we live tomorrow’ is a good question for each of us in that the more we treat others the way Christ treated folks when He last walked our planet, we’ll have little concern as to how the world treats us in the “last days”. The more we are Christ to others, the more he’ll welcome us in His Glory during the last days.”

“We live in a beautiful place. The sun rises and sets every day. We will go on.

“The inequalities are too great. I am a teacher in a school where we got a grant so that 100% o the students receive free breakfast and lunch. There are more transient people all the time. The parks fo full of people who live in the campsites. The rangers make them move every fourteen days, and so they go on a circuit from camp to camp. I am sure it is less expensive than a motel, and there are showers, but it’s not the right way to people to have to live. They pan for gold hoping to find a nugget big enough to pay first and last month’s rent to a place through the winter.”

About paulefallon

Greetings reader. I am a writer, architect, cyclist and father from Cambridge, MA. My primary blog, theawkwardpose.com is an archive of all my published writing. The title refers to a sequence of three yoga positions that increase focus and build strength by shifting the body’s center of gravity. The objective is balance without stability. My writing addresses opposing tension in our world, and my attempt to find balance through understanding that opposition. During 2015-2106 I am cycling through all 48 mainland United States and asking the question "How will we live tomorrow?" That journey is chronicled in a dedicated blog, www.howwillwelivetomorrw.com, that includes personal writing related to my adventure as well as others' responses to my question. Thank you for visiting.
