What's the one thing?

70 Days Ago, 30 sailors in 30, 60 foot boats set sail for a 28,000 mile race around the world against the trade winds. 12 sailors with 12 boats remain. The Vendee Globe Flotilla has rounded Cape Horn and are now in the South Atlantic heading North. The Lead vessel Foncia Skippered by Desjoyeaux Michel is 3604.2 nautical miles from the finish.

However, 12th ranked Nauticsport-Kapsch Skippered by Sedlacek Norbert is 6897.1 nautical miles away from the lead, near Cape Horn.

Meanwhile Fatah, Hamas And Israeli Defense Forces have declared a Cease Fire in Gaza.

In 2 days we have a Presidential Inauguration which must unify 300 million people who disagree on alot of things some of which are silly, some of which are serious but all still divisive. How does one get all to move forward as one, for all? Cliche's quickly surface to answer that constant challenge; "There's no I in Team" See the difference between Illness and Wellness, I versus We.

Oversimplifications for sure which run counter to the thought of the Power of One, the incredible value of the Individual, Each of us is unique and will remain so but, to do so in unison with others is the trick.

As long as lying, cheating, stealing, and sabotage are viewed as tools to achieve agendae, the populace will not experience Common Good, The Few will benefit at the cost of many.

What Common Cause can we all agree to? A Safer World? Clean Water? Clean Air? A childhood without gunfire? Explosions? Sexual assault? Physical abuse? Hunger? Thirst? Preventable Disease? Life is not painless it just shouldn't be painful. A Day without pain is a day without Life. Think about it!!! What about a day without Joy? Hmm, that doesn't happen, there is always something worth smiling about and I say this after going through some pretty miserable times, which didn't seem so bad when someone said something nice to me. Think about it !!!

Their words were salve for my spirit.

How does a race into the wind, a military ceasefire, a change in leadership due to democratic process fit together? All this occurred on this itty bitty water covered rock orbiting with powers unseen. It's the one thing we all have in Common Good,

We Share Earth
