Really appreciate your commentary. Especially this. Thank you. "... Our human history has also enjoyed a few precious pockets of time and place when we’ve lived and loved together despite our differences. This is tougher to achieve, and impossible at a time of crisis, rage and grief, but trust me on this — peace tastes better.
It requires accountability, a reckoning of wrongs.
It requires mutual trust and respect, seeing all of humanity as well, human.
And the really tough bit — it requires forgiveness, not because we all love each other, but because it’s the only way I know to release the pain and heal."
Anne, I am so honored to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words. Kindness counts in these terrible times. Good food and good friends count for a lot too. Here's to brighter days ahead.
