Refugee Camp News
You don't get Cable News here in the camp.
There isn't a t.v. or computer connected to the Internet.
Yet, if the collocations of FOX and CNN could help awaken wonder and amazement in the day, it might sound like this....
This just in.......it's raining.
We are now getting word that.....it's a beautiful morning.
Breaking news......a pig is very, very upset.
We have just learned that.......the sound of flowing water is miraculous.
A developing story.....shade is such a grace.
News alert......what will you do with your wild and precious life? (Mary Oliver)
And this bulletin from Rilke.....
"Let everything happen to you.
Beauty and terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand."
