Fern, this country has never been whole. The more I learn about the world, the more I see that this is true for most countries. Theft and usurpation are the norm. Coming to terms with this is the national occupation, weather we like it or not, weather we make up lies, blame others, or face it head-on.

How do we go on? By recognizing that 99% of any human experience is made of love. "Mother takes good care of her children" is not a headline, yet it is far more common, far more important, than any goon with a gun. If you look at the world and see no joy, then you are only looking at a very small part of the picture. Keep getting into good, joyful trouble Fern. I couldn't bear it if you didn't.

I've considered several directions I could take with this response. If some serious convo brings out the love, we'll always play ball together.
