What Really Matters, and What Is Always There in the End

In the midst of all the anxiety over Prop H8 in California and over the Anglican Consultive Council meeting in Jamaica trying to figure out a way to hold the Communion together; or to transform it into a bargain basement Rome/Geneva funded by right wing American sugar daddies, let's not lose sight of what really matters. On top of everything is the global economic meltdown, and we're all worried about our jobs and our pensions. Let's try to remember and focus on what it's all about, and not let our disappointments turn into despair.  William Blake had a lot of disappointments in his life, and did he give up in despair?  Apparently not.
