This was so spot on…not to belabor the whole Spotify thing. And it was so needed, at least for me. It’s so easy to get caught up in the spectatorship of the name calling, fear-mongering, poll watching, and gamesmanship of this whole thing that one can come to despair over the sheer ugliness of it all. I’m quite sure Screwtape and his nephew are having a field day. But, in the last analysis, it is our souls that matter, as you so eloquently note. In many meditation practices one learns to focus on a still point. And Thomas Merton posited a still point in our souls - the Le Point Vierge. Thank you for reminding me that what matters are those still points and to stay focused on those when in the middle of the whirlwind.

Yes, only God the Father knows what will happen tomorrow. And I take comfort in the fact that He will still be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent after the dust settles. Presidents come and go, but my King reigns forever. Amen.
