You're so right about the state of our country right now. A few weeks back I had an unusual experience: I'm an illustrator and I've been working on an illustration a day project this year. Someone blogged about one of the images and all of a sudden I had hundreds of requests for prints. There were 2 images people wanted:: One says " Everything is going to be OK" and the other says "We are all connected". Some of the emails were very personal, mentioning hope in the face of a difficult time, optimism found in a simple phrase. It was an incredibly uplifting and humbling experience. I haven't read your book yet.. but this has sent me in that direction, without a doubt. Thank you! Hopeful. You’re so right about the state of our country right now.

I really agree with your insight here on fear. We can treat others in life with fear and never know who they are. We seem to be especially fearful of other cultures we don't know or even attempt to understand. Wishing you all the best with the book. “And just as in the Salem of the 1600’s, we have to be careful not to let our fears make us recklessly assign blame and create enemies.”
