In the midst of all the news about people I am ashamed to have to call “fellow Americans,” this is something worth reading to remind us of who we are supposed to be. Steve Schmidt posted it this morning at his Substack, “The Warning” (highly recommended).
That was indeed a cleansing summer shower. I can only think that other subscribers must have glanced the rainbow peeking through the gray rain clouds opposite the emerging late afternoon sun. I needed that entry, TC, after reading the flurry of updates from Lucian Truscott and others this afternoon. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. One that understands the Light and its ability to fill cracks of darkness.
I am poignantly sad about how many have forgotten who we really are. So sad that such an assault over the past several months on our senses have rendered even some of the most faithful in doubt of those working their tenacious damndest to save democracy and spare no one “in fear or favor”. It has been gut wrenching to me. I have cried tears on more days than not.
I’ve been afraid. But as I have said many times. I am not scared. I find my courage in truth, not lies. In Love…of which there is no opposite…something I find proof of in things that inspire me. Often it is from reading things penned by others. I am grateful to authors such as TC and HCR who build bridges with their words.
I have penned often to others that which I believe as the original download from the Creator after human beings began the experiment of separate existence from that Creator. A download in our very souls that, if recognized, holds the key to harmonic existence and a glimpse of a rainbow on a summer afternoon.
“We are all in this together. There is enough to go around.” Post it on your fridge or mirror. Say it every day. Significant action can follow collective thoughts.
I cannot help but compare the nobility of those brave soldiers/sailors/marines/coasties who went to war for humanity with those who would go to (civil) war over the lies and propaganda spewed by today’s Republiqans.
Thanks for this wonderful quote from Saint-Exupéry. Also, thanks for the tissue warning. I’m blubbering in SeaTac Terminal C as I read it.
Thanks for passing on this letter. Unfortunately for American soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines there has been not one war worth the cost in American and “enemy” lives since WW2.
Those of us who had ideals were wasted by our “leaders” after Korea and in the Vietnam fiasco.
I am so touched that you shared this letter by Saint-Exupéry. As a retired French teacher born in France I know and love his writings. I read Le Petit Prince many times with my students. Thank you!

Outstanding, thanks TC.
What words are adequate to this writing? I must read it again. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
