If It's Not Broken, Don'T Fix It

I like fixing broken things. I detest breaking things to fix them. I cannot deny that I sit where you sit. You see things broken and needing to be fix. I see things well built and needing to be adjusted. From where I sit; From my perspective; From where I hear and see; From what I feel and sense; From my heart, I believe it's true; There are a lot of things broken. Broken promises; broken hearts. Broken people, communities, and nations. But there are also things that are not broken. For things broken, it's natural to try and fix them. But things that are not broken should be left alone. There seem to be a mad rush to fix, to redo America. America has problems, lots of them, but she is not broken. Yes, I see Cracks in our pillars of strength. Yes, I see Leaks in our walls of defense. Yes, I see Tears in the fabric of our society. But I see a Foundation holding solid and strong. Some Ingredients may have been left out of the menu, but that calls for an addition to make it better, not a fixing. Remember, we do not throw out the baby with the bathwater. May we remain seated together to fix only what is truly broken. 090821PS
