Being a lover of music, there is nothing better to soothe the soul than a little Sting. Something about his voice just runs right through you like you are being bathed in light. One of my favorites for many reasons is Fragile.  It is something that stands out to me in the middle of this current unrest where people are using their anger like a whipping stick and those who think they are harmlessly getting away with hurting people by stealing from them and destroying their property. I am all for protesting, using one’s voice, and standing up for what you believe.  It is one of our constitutional rights.  Part of what we are witnessing when see people hurt one another is their hurt.  We were not all given the tools needed to express our anger, grief, fear, sadness, frustration, and desperation in a healthy or even productive manner. We hurt others when we are hurt.  I do it. You do it. We all do it. Watching it on a grand scale at one moment in time has a profound effect on us. It speaks to me of the fragility of every person, whatever his or her reaction is to this experience.  It does not matter if we are in the face of it or watching from the sidelines.  It does not matter if we are appalled by it, hoping it will end soon before more people get hurt or cheering people on.  Our fragility and our basic human energetic connection mean we are not immune to it.  God encourages us when the information we are taking in begins to swirl and we find ourselves disconnected from ourselves as a result, to take a moment and go into our hearts.  It is by our connection and breathing into the fragility that we can find the resources to walk through this instead of hiding away whatever that means for each of us.
