What Are Our Options When Troubled Water Swamps The Bridge?
I’m sorry to offer what may seem a pessimistic thought, but sometimes it is simply the case that troubled waters sometimes swamp the bridge.
It is so that there might be other ways around. Or maybe you have time to wait for the waters to recede.
You might decide it is okay for you to stay where you are.
Yet it may also be so that you simply have to cross and you are not able.
A core belief of liberal and progressive thought is that sometimes circumstance gets the better of a person.
At this point we can possibly offer a way across if we have the means to do so.
We might even be able to help build a better bridge across for the next time.
At least we might be able to do so if the funding for bridge construction has not been not cut off.
It could also be though that we have nothing to offer other than consolation and support.
I took the picture you see above a few hours ago in rainy Houston.
Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
