Ok, I’m gonna try to be a shining light with another, different quote: “a more perfect union.”

I don’t in any way, shape, or form think what is happening AT THIS MOMENT, is making us a more perfect union.

I am hopeful however, that as a result of our current turmoil we will emerge as that. If not in 3 years, then 7, or more.

Certainly we are all learning lessons about what we want our country to be. And what we want it NOT to be.

Beautifully written, as always. We have been in search of the quiet and peace that nature brings as well. We are heading to an off grid cabin in the Adirondacks next week for a full week of no computers, TV, or cell phones. Just us, our children, dogs, books, and kayaks. And you are correct, America can indeed break your heart.

Your writing always breaks me😭. Not in a bad way my friend. I’ve just found it hard to be a “ joyful one” in today’s world . Your words certainly point us towards realizing that even the “pits” have a purpose if we embrace it. ❤️
