Hello Fellow Travelers!
I was primed to tackle some weighty brain topic (This Week: Brain Tumors and Junk Food Eating Bears - They Both Need to be Removed) and then this happened: You know what happened this week, unless you were living under a rock (even if you were living under some stone social media delivered the news) the Pope came to the US! It doesn't matter what your religious affiliation is, the Holy Father has "star-quality" in spades! Plus, he's just adorable. He has a great vibe and he rides around in a snappy, little Fiat! I mean, did you see him? Is he cute as a bug's ear or what?
He had a real message too; one for everyone in America. I listened to all his speeches delivered in Spanish in the same soft voice (with a translator), and he repeated the same message: take care of each other and take care of our planet!
What struck me the most about the Pope?
He seems really happy! He looks full of joy, like he has seen something wonderful and will happily share it with the world!
Seeing anyone so joyous is very appealing, and everyone adores the Pope!
He could sell anything! A Pope Diet? The Pontiff's Secret to Healthy Living?
Last night he killed them in Madison Square Garden!
Today he's owning Philly! CNN reporters are speechless!
I feel happy all the time! I don't smile very often, but I laugh a lot and I'm always in a great frame of mind (Thank You, HA!).
I'll take humor and inspiration wherever I can find them! And Pope Francis inspires me to drive harder and work longer towards neuroplasticity.
The Pope's "takeaway message?" People are all that count. Love is all that matters. Nothing else comes close.
It's a universal message. Christians and non-Christians alike respond to that message. How, who, or even if you worship ceases to matter. They instantly become non-issues.
Bill Maher was predictably dissing The Pope on HBO, but he just doesn't get it! Francis is everything you want in a Pontiff and more (which sounds less like a Holy Father and more like a mid-size SUV! My bad! But you get my drift).
He's an "old-school" Pontiff with an inclusive "new" message for everyone in the world!
Pope Francis is a beam of sunshine streaming through stained glass!

Pope Francis is the first Pope to truly embrace his mission, and not just be a place holder for policies of the past: forgiving abortion, divorce, and elevating the role of women in the church, and especially, saving the Planet. His Jesuit self sacrifice and hard work ethic is shared by Governor Jerry Brown and Vince Scully (Fordham in Brooklyn) of the Dodgers, signed yet again in his advancing 80s...selfless hard work in the sacrifice of the public good...
