    It is an opportunity to refocus on what is Not me and around me among the perfection in God's creations.  It reminds me that only GOD is perfect.  I cant do anything....but He can do all things. I felt His presence among His creations.  The silence and just the whisper of the wind was centering and calming.  I find that I need that time each day as it begins and ends.

    I learned that the government kept racial injustice alive through the Jim Crow Laws, prison "reform", drug enforcement laws that set up African  Americans for failure.
