Minutes later, all is illuminated and the darkness banished until evening.
They say it’s darkest before the dawn. And in many ways, 2020 has felt like descending into darkness. But now, it feels like the time to reach for the light and search for the dawn.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

What an exhausting, maddening, terrifying world we’re living in these days, but I am heartened by much of what I see – 2 hour voting lines on the first day of early voting in Virginia, for one.
Stay well!
