For our MOM: [Feet on the floor. fingers on knees. Close your eyes. Let
your thoughts float away like leaves on the surface of a stream, until
all that's left is this moment. Breathe.]
JOURNAL TOPIC: If the government gave every employer enough money to get through the pandemic without firing anyone -- so that everyone had job security and their regular paycheck -- how would life be different for you right now?
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Meeting
4. Post
POST:
In today's reading we met Hungry Joe, the first character who is (at least sort of) like the traditional soldier in books and movies. He is described as a hero who has flown more missions than anyone -- but when he doesn't get sent home, he stops celebrating. First he loses his temper and then, if his nightly nightmares are any indication, he loses his mind. On p. 39, we read: "And suddenly it all made sense. Why not every night, indeed? It made sense to cry out in pain every night."
What does this passage mean? What made sense? (title: HUNGRY JOE MAKES SENSE)
