cartoon: road sign YIELD!

Did you know that the shape of the yield sign, the upside down triangle, is universal? I believe that even though there are many religions and philosophies in this world, that the cross has universal meaning, a symbol of the suffering of humanity and the world. In an interview years ago, one of Canada’s finest poets and songwriters, Leonard Cohen, said as he looked across the suffering of this world:

Mankind must rediscover the crucifixion as a universal symbol, not just an experiment in sadism or masochism or arrogance. It will have to be rediscovered because that’s where man is at… on the cross.

I believe that in embracing these two things… agony and adoration… we come closer to being wise and compassionate citizens of our communities and the Beloved Community universal.
