Bonnie, this touched my heart. As one who benefits greatly from the music you share each week with the folks joyfully standing up for justice, I can see you (and Liam!) on the edge of the sidewalk engaging with that man in this gentle and disarming way. Your experience in that moment and your words in this essay give me hope. Thank you.

Thank you, Sharon. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. And thank you for all you do to bring us together to celebrate our humanity. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thank you, Bonnie. I've been thinking a lot about what Robert Reich wrote recently that the divide is not side against side, but between the top wealthy ones and all the rest of us. That puts people like my son in law, my daughter and my four beautiful grandchildren firmly on the SAME SIDE! That is something to be grateful for.
