Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The tune this cycle is We Will Rise. We've been on the road this week, visiting kids and grandkids. Such deep sorrow, worry and fear we see as we travel, even as spring shows its first signs and the joy and fervor of our grandkids shines. There are such real and imminent problems to face in our time, in our country. It is hard to see our leadership deliberately creating fear and discord while focusing on themseles and their desire for fame, fortune, and power. The world needs us all to pull at the oars of cooperation, mutual support and service to each other. Instead, we attack those committed to service, villanize the most vulnerable, rewrite history as if that might erase the failures and problems that remain in our times.
We Will Rise remembers how we have and can come together in times of crisis, disaster and chaos to support each other and bring hope where devastation and fear have wrought great pain.
Hand in hand, together, we will rise.
