Paranoia

I ran a traffic light this evening. Well, I entered the intersection when the light was yellow, but the light changed to red while I was in the intersection. There was a camera, and I thought of the time I had to pay a hefty fine for running a red light. A camera had taken a photograph of my car. Will I get another ticket in the mail?

I work for Uncle Sam. He’s been getting quite a lot of attention from Russia, China, some entities in the Middle East... and others. I have been worried about hacking: The Office of Personnel Management sent me notice that my information was “breached.” I’ve been looking at different types of protection for my home systems. While searching for security products from my work computer, I clicked on an article about a device that could hack a system just by being plugged into it. As soon as I clicked it, the page immediately closed and so did my browser. There are threats inside and outside the federal government; I am not one of them.

Each day, I think about my role here. I am a spirit living a human experience. My core is Love. It is the most important lesson for each of us. Will I be killed? Will my family be harmed? Will my country be sabotaged? I hope not. But what is more important than security to save us from fear?

There is no “Us and Them;” there is only “We.” I don’t want to know your secrets. I want to know your heart. Can we do more than get along?

I love God above all else; after that I love you as if you are kin. My human side is afraid; my spirit sings to you.

Hafiz: For A While

We have all come to the right place.
We all sit in God’s classroom.
Now,
The only thing left for us to do, my dear,
Is to stop
Throwing spitballs for a while.
