Cartoon of the Week: Don’t Stop Connivin’
Here’s a hot-off-the-presses cartoon, to go with some older posts from May. And a short week of material altogether. One episode of Totem, giving the outcome of the challenge against Mumas. Then a post with a couple of old-time poems that say relevant things, and that I enjoy. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, by the way, was a member of the spiritualist movement, active as an author and poet in the 19th and early 20th centuries. I’ll share a good insight taken from her autobiography, found on her Wikipedia page:
In talking with Max Heindel, the leader of the Rosicrucian Philosophy in California, he made very clear to me the effect of intense grief. Mr. Heindel assured me that I would come in touch with the spirit of my husband when I learned to control my sorrow. I replied that it seemed strange to me that an omnipotent God could not send a flash of his light into a suffering soul to bring its conviction when most needed. Did you ever stand beside a clear pool of water, asked Mr. Heindel, and see the trees and skies repeated therein? And did you ever cast a stone into that pool and see it clouded and turmoiled, so it gave no reflection? Yet the skies and trees were waiting above to be reflected when the waters grew calm. So God and your husband’s spirit wait to show themselves to you when the turbulence of sorrow is quieted.
