With Difficulty Comes Ease...  How do we make sense of the days and times we find ourselves in?  Common impulses to the injustice and corruption are raw and visceral.  Words don’t seem to contain the energy to hold the gravity of the moment.  There is bewilderment, anger and even rage.  However, within the midst of the senseless there remains a need to bring all things into balance.  Our human intelligence demands that we search for answers.  Being proactive in the pursuit of a better life requires contributions from diverse perspectives and cultures, hence the new-found unity in the streets.  As tensions continue swirling due to the global pandemic, national elections and turmoil in city streets, where should right minded people focus their energies?

How does today inform our future as valued citizens? How do we evolve and grow from these putrid moments in American history?
