An American Family Meditation / Expanding the Context / Against All Odds


More that has been brought to my attention from a friend who is on Facebook:

Below are Shoshana and Nathan Phillips.  Shoshana died of cancer in 2014.












Below are Nathan Phillips and his daughter, Alethea.  Nathan and Shoshana also have a son named Zakiah.














May something good come of the events of January 18, 2019, in Washington, D.C., during the Indigenous Peoples March.  My hope is that Nicholas Sandmann will someday meet Nathan Phillips in an expanded context and understand what Nicholas couldn't possibly have understood on January 18 -- that Nathan Phillips is a man of peace who is willing to forgive, as Nicholas Sandmann's teacher, Jesus, did.  May common ground be found.
