Desde las elecciones nacionales en Estados Unidos el pasado noviembre, he estado leyendo
\n muchos comentarios de personas que esperaban un resultado diferente que, en efecto,
\n preguntan: \u201c\u00bfY ahora qu\u00e9 hacemos?\u00bb o hacen predicciones nefastas sobre nuestro inmediato
\n futuro. Es tentador dejarse llevar por el des\u00e1nimo. <\/p>\n

No somos las primeras personas que vivimos tiempos dif\u00edciles, aterradores o decepcionantes
\n. Me he encontrado preguntando a Amigos mayores c\u00f3mo sent\u00edan el mundo durante<\/x> el per\u00edodo McCarthy, la Gran Depresi\u00f3n o el r\u00e9gimen nazi. Las respuestas que he<\/x> recibido me han asegurado que encontraremos la manera de superar los desaf\u00edos del<\/x> presente. Otras fuentes de esperanza, para m\u00ed, son el papel de la no violencia en el fin del apartheid<\/x> en Sud\u00e1frica, gracias en gran parte al notable esp\u00edritu de los sudafricanos negros; y<\/x> la generosidad y alegr\u00eda de muchos latinoamericanos, a pesar de la profunda pobreza, la opresi\u00f3n,<\/x> y los largos a\u00f1os de conflicto armado. La importancia de la vida del Esp\u00edritu para las personas
\n en esos momentos es incalculable. <\/p>\n

El contenido de este n\u00famero en particular me ha hecho reflexionar sobre la influencia que
\n la gente corriente puede tener en el curso de sus vidas. Brian Drayton nos trae un<\/x> perfil de Mary Penington (p. 27) que traza su b\u00fasqueda espiritual y sus luchas con<\/x> el dolor y la autocomplacencia. Su triunfo sobre estas cosas y su perseverancia a trav\u00e9s de<\/x> las muchas y duras pruebas del primer cuaquerismo son un ejemplo de lo que se puede lograr<\/x> a trav\u00e9s de la disciplina y la determinaci\u00f3n. Su vida es un testimonio 323 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s. <\/p>\n

Sin embargo, no es necesario buscar tan atr\u00e1s en la historia para encontrar ejemplos de c\u00f3mo
\n la conducta cotidiana de la vida de uno puede dejar un efecto duradero en los dem\u00e1s. En \u201cUna cocina con<\/x> vistas\u00bb (p. 14), Ann Morrison Welsh describe c\u00f3mo el simple acto de hospitalidad y<\/x> el apoyo c\u00e1lido y amoroso entre amigos ha proporcionado un refugio y un lugar profundamente curativo para<\/x> ella y su familia. Moreland Smith, en \u201cUmbrales\u00bb (p. 18), cuenta encuentros aparentemente
\n fortuitos con personas que han tenido experiencias no\u00e9ticas y c\u00f3mo estos
\n encuentros le han hecho m\u00e1s consciente de las aperturas a trav\u00e9s de las cuales es posible
\n obtener una conciencia m\u00e1s profunda del movimiento de la Gracia en nuestras vidas. Los ni\u00f1os tambi\u00e9n pueden ser
\n tocados por algo simult\u00e1neamente cotidiano y extraordinario, como describe
\n William Alberts en \u201cHablando con Bob\u00bb (p. 20), cuando alumnos de tercer grado conectan con un jubilado
\n piloto de aerol\u00ednea en Labrador. <\/p>\n

Este mes, hemos incluido un art\u00edculo de Paul Buckley, \u201cApropiarse del Padre Nuestro\u00bb
\n (p. 6), que esperamos que proporcione una forma sencilla y rica de profundizar en la
\n vida meditativa y de oraci\u00f3n. Paul deja claro que es posible pasar a\u00f1os con esta<\/x> oraci\u00f3n sin agotar su capacidad de proporcionar perspicacia y crecimiento espiritual.<\/x> Mientras celebramos este 50 aniversario de FRIENDS JOURNAL<\/g>, soy muy consciente de<\/x> lo profundamente que las palabras de nuestras p\u00e1ginas pueden afectar a los dem\u00e1s. A menudo recibimos cartas y<\/x> notas de personas que nos dicen lo importante que es el JOURNAL<\/g> para ellos. Estamos bendecidos
\n de que tanta esperanza, inspiraci\u00f3n y \u00e1nimo fluyan a trav\u00e9s de estas p\u00e1ginas, y que
\n lo haya hecho durante tantos a\u00f1os. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
