Everyone’s participation in the discussion has been most helpful to me.  I think something has clarified in this here head, and before returning to the type of posts that have been more the norm here, I wanted to share what I’m thinking.

I’m recognizing the incredible gulf between blind optimism and a hope that is rooted in an honest appraisal of how things actually are. I think the type of deception that comes with blind optimism never shapes the new reality, but instead puts us on the sidelines watching the parade as it goes by. We can’t afford to sit idly off to the side.  We all need to be a part of the solution.
