Michelle I so hope the optimistic possibilities you mentioned in your response are how humanity and our connections unfold. I’m truly hoping for a new age of tolerance, peace, empathy, understanding— and I 100% agree that’s one of the possible outcomes.

And love will steer the stars

Harmony and understanding

Sympathy and trust abounding

No more falsehoods or derisions

Golden living dreams of visions

Mystic crystal revelation

And the mind's true liberation*

*from the 1967 Broadway musical Hair
