So many questions today as I basked in the sounds, the breeze, the rainbow of colors and the overall quiet purpose of Nature in the park this morning! There arose some existential question, maybe you can help me word it, about how could I be luxuriating in peace, beauty, solace, and sensory delight when the fundamental principle of my government has been overturned?
As I walked, I answered that maybe I could do both enjoy the centering and empowering experience of walking in Nature AND contribute to this political event. At least I could become informed.
I took out my phone and looked up my congressman. Nothing from him. However, I did find out that one rep is planning to introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse the presidential immunity ruling.
“I will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law.” Congressman Joe Morelle of NY.
“Oh good,” I sighed. Someone is doing this work. Maybe politicians could walk in Nature too!
