At year’s end, we yearn for a peaceful, coherent existence in the coming year.
We long for an end to division, name-calling, and gridlock.
It’s tempting to issue a call for a kinder, non contentious world.
But I see a personal mandate to contend against hate, division, corruption, and willful ignorance.
Silence is no option. Calm, determined civility is.
That’s my pledge.
