Subject: Two Poems for Our 250th
| Loose Leaf Hollow Release, Relax & Rest in this Space for Grace  MONDAY MORNING MUSING TWO POEMS FOR OUR 250THFACING THE PROBLEM “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”The late, great James Baldwin once said that. So, let’s face it: Unfettered Capitalism, despite what Reagan promised, will not “lift all boats.”Yet, it does seem to “lift all yachts,” effortlessly. Capitalism without regulation, unfortunately,leaves the majority of us wet and freezing and clinging to the wreckage of the Titanic. Unfettered Capitalism inevitablygrows rotten and tends to become corrupt, undemocratic, violent and predatory. Capitalism without regulation has become a fetid “Swamp of Warm Ooze” that can no longer reflect our democratic aspirations. ∞ ∞ ∞a more perfect union transforming the u.s.a. from a harsh, forbidding empire into the tender heart of extravagant hospitality will take a slow, dedicatedand democratic lowercase revolution, ledby the people, and for the people July 4, 2026   The Heart-to-Heart CommunityWe are a 21st Century Spiritual CommunityInspired by Contemplation & Action That Trusts in the Healing Energy of Love.ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN OUR WEEKLY & MONTHLY RETREATSMONTHLY RETREAT DANCING WITH SPIRIT A Saturday MorningMeditation Retreaton Zoom Saturday 11 July 7:30 — Noon(Eastern Time) Donations Appreciated DANCING WITH SPIRIT (Monthly Intensive Retreat)https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87586063885WEEKLY RETREATS HEART-to-HEART A Sunday “virtual retreat”on Zoom Every Sunday @ 11 AM(Eastern Time) Each to meeting will include inspiration, meditation & conversation.
