1. Polarized describes the state of this world in which we live.
2. Divisive is a word completely in line with the most common social media proclamations.
3. Separation posits an element of speech indicating relationship dissolution as a result of the two predecessors above.

It's no secret that these few words are interrupting civilized and loving conversations.  It is equally obvious that avoiding the topics of viruses, race, and politics proves impossible.

I was blessed with a 2-hour conversation yesterday.

I find it difficult to believe that I wrote that last sentence based on the introduction to this piece but it's absolutely true.  This dialogue revealed a vaporous objective that seemed beyond reach just a few days before. 

LIFE

Saturday morning.

I'm up early.
A mild start, the temperature is 56 degrees.
For the moment, darkness conquers dawn.

Sitting in the shadows, I am hearing - life.

Ignorant of the crisis spinning around them, birds of unknown types make joyful music in shaded anonymity.

Intruding on your space, I suggest taking just a few seconds out of your day.  You can do this anytime.  All you need is 30 seconds between scheduled activities.

Close your eyes and listen. Let these nameless feathered creatures lift your spirits.
