Happy 235th birthday to our U.S. Constitution

The necessary work to perfect our Union continues.

Happy 235th birthday to our U.S. Constitution; a statement to think about, from a letter Jefferson wrote to Madison, in 1789---19 days before the birth of our Bill of Rights:

On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation. They may manage it then, and what proceeds from it, as they please, during their usufruct. They are masters too of their own persons, and consequently may govern them as they please. But persons and property make the sum of the objects of government. The constitution and the laws of their predecessors extinguished then in their natural course with those who gave them being. This could preserve that being till it ceased to be itself, and no longer. Every constitution then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right.

As always, thank you for uniting with us, as we build communities of healers; and remember, America: heal thyself, by listening, leading and uniting.
