Winter to Spring tornado

Until this rainy and cold weather ends I do not believe spring or Easter has come. It is almost May and, like the tomato seeds waiting for the sun and warmth to germinate, I wait for new life and light to shine through the gloom and darkness of these days. When will spring come?

Nine Americans and God only knows how many Afghans men, women and children, were killed today in the USA war in Afghanistan. The great military General Petraeus, leader of the war against Iraq and now Afghanistan is becoming the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. And a former congressperson, now the Director of the CIA will become the Secretary of the Department of Defense (War). The present Secretary of the Department of Defense, leftover from the previous administration, will retire. The chess game continues while America’s wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya kills people. When will spring come?

Last month the press was talking about the ‘Arab spring’ in Tunisia and Egypt, two countries that used the power of nonviolence to bring down the government. Now the news is about the killing and repression of the people in Libya and Syria, in Libya despite the violence of rebels and Western supports. When will spring come to these two countries?

This Friday we have scheduled four homicide victim vigils and the last few days four more homicides, senseless killings, have occurred in the city. When will spring come?

There is a record number of tornados tearing up the south the in the last week. When will the winds of the tornados give way to the gentle breeze of spring?

It is time to play basketball at the local county park yet a rim remains down, due to some labeling of young adults by neighbors. When will spring come for the basketball players?

A local congressperson and our Governor explain why tax cuts for the rich and less care for the elderly and sick is better for us. Spring is a good time to wake up. When will spring come?

Without faith that spring will come, the shadow of the cross being be swallowed by light and without finding the seeds of hope in the present, it is hard to continue. When will spring come?
