I thank you God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky ; and for everything which is natural which is infine which is yes.

As a retired educator, the article “A day in the life of SPD’s mental health crisis team” caught my eye [Aug. 7, A1].
One particular issue was the dispatch of a team to deal with a man with mental health problems. He was detained after yelling and making verbal threats at school children who had been teasing him.
While his actions may have been threatening, I don’t excuse the children for being children, either. Apparently, they were savvy enough to pick a target for their teasing, and bullying, and felt entitled to proceed.
With Seattle facing a homeless and mental health crisis, resulting in 11,000 to 14,000 emergency calls last year for mental and behavioral crises alone, parents and schools bear some responsibility for the behavior of these children who think it’s OK to tease.
Teasing, belittling and bullying are not acceptable in any form, against anyone, no matter how different or the object of society’s, or anyone’s, “disdain.”
I see the need to revisit the issue of being a bully, and being bullied in the home and school, because that, too, can be considered a mental health problem in the making.
How do you see God’s handiwork in the creation around you? How can you respond in praise to Him?
Creator God, thank You for the unique and perfect way You created the world and all that’s in it. Your works are wondrous!

I was in a vintage shop with my friend Max and saw a sequined top. I remarked to him that I wouldn’t have anywhere to wear such a sparkly top in my current life but that I would love to. He replied simply, ‘Choose a different lifestyle.’ I’ve thought about these words every day since.” — Monica Tanouye
