Let's Reach For Glory


There's still time to resurrect what this flag means to people across the globe. We still have time to choose the nature of the phoenix that ultimately rises from the ashes of Ground Zero.

Today, Starr Ann challenged me to find someone whose values, or lifestyle or beliefs are diametrically opposed to my own, and then to sincerely extend myself to that person, create an inroad, no matter how small, toward bridging the differences between us.

She's going to do the same.

I think that's a real nice idea, and a perfect way to honor all those who've suffered at the hand of misunderstanding and intolerance.
