            I have loved studying the sky with its constantly changing clouds since I was a child. I can remember many a time after hours of us playing hard in the sticky, humid air of southern Florida, we would fling ourselves on the cool grass…either ours or some tolerant neighbor’s, and stare up into the sky while sipping juice from a tangerine we’d picked from a nearby tree. Then ensued what passed for a serious discussion when you’re 6 or 7, on what the clouds looked like…a puppy! No, an angel! No, a flower! No, it looks like your brother! And on and on until we did our own childish version of agreeing to disagree.

I think memories like this sustain us and remind us that once, we knew how to disagree peacefully and we can remember how to do so again.

            Happy Weekend!
