The news continues it litany of politics and killing and war. No different than last January's news and it can make one wonder if humanity is making any progress at all.
But somehow all the new spring life has the power to alter our perspective. If all this new green growing can emerge from January, perhaps human compassion has a chance of flowering as well.
I am equally fascinated and repelled by politics. I try to remember what presidential campaigns were like decades ago. Somehow it seems to voters were asked to consider which candidates could best serve our country. It was not about agreeing with everyone, but about learning what solutions were being proposed. Not about slandering the other person - as a reason to vote for someone.
When it gets too much, I turn off the readily available news and go out into my garden.
