And I ended up reading Elizabeth's essay after you posted/shared it in Notes--thank you!

I so appreciate this bit of real community right here. Thank you for that, too, Andrew.

Well, first of all, I might need to print out and paste around my house some of the nice words you used to describe this essay and, by association, me and Chicken Scratch. Feeling that boost way down deep, Andrew, thank you!

More importantly, I am buoyed by how the laws of the universe, which aren't actually laws at all, in my opinion, but more of a creation of realities out of perception and expectation, have affirmed our collective notion that there is more goodness among us than our loudest sources of information would have us believe. I say "loudest," and even that is flawed, because it's more about what we're focusing on than it is the decibel level. What better reassurance than to take a stand for common ground and find a collection of others already there, holding the same signs. This piece clarifies, confirms, and expands my thinking. Thank you!
