Day Fourteen – Stumbling on Joy
Many of you know that after my experiences in 2020 and 2022, I was truly reticent about this year’s journey. While I still struggle to reconcile the current polling with what I consider to be the strongest split screen comparison of two presidential candidates in my lifetime, with each day, each interaction… that cognitive dissonance is taking up less real estate in my head every day. There is something about laughter between friends. There is reassurance when you look for humanity and, without fail, you find it.
I don’t know what is going to happen. I believe, as I always have, people are inherently good.
