Differences

Let us enrich ourselves with our mutual differences.
-Paul Valery, poet and philosopher (1871-1945)

I’m hopeful that on this election day, we can remind ourselves that the democratic process thrives on dialogue and exchange of ideas. I, for one, am grateful to be in a country, community, and family where our differing beliefs and ideologies are respected.

(A comment just for my kids, to make ‘em smile: “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free…”)
