All across the world, politics and social life continue to shift and to change.
At certain times and in certain places, those shifts and changes seem to lead toward peace, toward connection, toward progress. At other times and in other places, chaos and fear haunt present and future.
In the midst of these things, hope can be a constant. Hope offers the idea of connection and the possibility of brighter future.
