A philosophy professor in university reminded us that we often 'see what we want to see.' I believe that he was saying that what we see, notice, value, revere, love are the world's elements of beauty that we seek. To the contrary, the ugliness of the current political situation is made even more ugly by the ugliness of the persons who are trying to assume some kind of despotism in a society that has valued and revered openness and beauty.
Thank you for the wise words. I too am in Minnesota experiencing what you so beautifully describe. Thank you for using your gifts to express what I feel but am unable to find the language to express. May we all find something to be thankful for each day…
