Re: Subject: Dr. Seuss's view of recent events.

Kathy,

Honestly, I have received this poem about ten times and I guess all I

noticed was the cadence, and really didn't pay attention to the

content. Also, I guess lately with all that has happened, I haven't

been looking to be offended. I know that lately I have been taking

myself so seriously, all it's done is put me into a blue funk. Its

all about me...my sadness, my fear, my problems, when so much is

happening in the world that I need to turn outward on. I had a stern

talking to with myself, as well as some help from some wonderful

folks online ...including you, who helped me to get my life back into

perspective.

I guess all I would like to say is that we do spend a lot of time

with each other...at least with each others words and with each

others hearts, and you have always shown a warm, empathetic and

glowing heart. Maybe all of us, who are so sensitive could help

ourselves, and this world with a simple phrase, " ASSUME INNOCENCE " .

Now more than ever is the time to come together. If we are offended

by something, maybe we could send a personal message to someone

saying...I received this communication in the following spirit, and

hoping you didn't mean it in a negative way, I wanted to explain how

I felt.

It's easy for all of us to say we would never be terrorists, its

harder to say, in my heart, I would never intentionally hurt someone,

because its from these little hurtful things, that terrorism is

allowed to grow. Hell, I am lecturing....I didn't mean to, because I

have to say I am usually the most guilty of blaming before asking....

I hope you know that I never felt you meant anything hurtful or

racist in what you posted...and I personally thank you for being a

warm glow in my life.

Hugs,

Theresa
