Every couple of years, my mom and I start a conversation talking about the same thing. Namely, what's going wrong in the World. The last time we had the conversation was back in October, after the market had crashed. Prior to that, it was after 9/11.
Today we talked about The Flu making the rounds. Who knows if this flu is the Big One, or merely the media's new pet. But sometimes these things force me to stop and consider what a small planet we inhabit. One virus, that started in Mexico, has now spread throughout most of the World. We are all connected, and all share the same love and concern for our families in an uncertain time such as this. How about we all get together and stop name calling - Swine Flu ( America), Mexican Flu (Israel) North American Flu (France). Call it what it is; The World Flu.
Breathtaking how startlingly timely Marvin Gaye's song is today. This is one of my favorites.
