SOUL MAIL Sunday: Let Your Peaceful Presence Be the True Focus
Hi Everyone! Today I’m resurrecting the idea of SOUL MAIL SUNDAY posts which I shared during the covid pandemic from 3-17-2020 through 8-1-2021. Much has happened in the world these past 5 years, but here we are again in the present moment.
This week, I’ve been pondering the recent sermon of Bishop Wm. Barber, President of Repairers of the Breach. It included a review of significant civil rights events from the past that occurred during June. He reminded us about the Miami University of Ohio students who learned to assist people in registering to vote and participated in Freedom Summer on 6/14/1964. (This happens to be where my brother and sister-in-law have been tenured professors in the Communications Department.) Back in 1964, the mostly white college students traveled to Mississippi to empower disenfranchised African American voters. Their efforts were a catalyst for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This factual historical event is worthy of celebrating today, Sunday, June 14th, 2026! It commemorates that each of us has a peaceful nonviolent way of expressing our true self and our vision. Perhaps it is time to pause and ask: How can we express our true self without causing harm?
This SOUL MAIL seems to be the perfect message for us today! You may see the art image and read or listen to the words below.
