I really enjoyed this article: Whatever Happens, Love Thy Neighbor

\n
\n

I’m a Democrat living in a red, rural county. Trump supporters have mowed my lawn, walked my dog, and eroded my prejudices with their humanity.

\n
\n

This article gives me a little bit of hope that maybe by seeing and celebrating our common humanity we may find a way beyond polarization and seeing each other as more than who we voted for in the last election.

@jean This is a great thread already filled with some great ideas, inspiration, advice. Recently I’ve shifted to analog journaling from using digital journaling apps. Originally I was concerned that journaling by hand would slow me down but I’ve come to realize that journaling slower is not a bug it is a feature of writing by hand. Slowing down gives time to think and more thoroughly process. Bonus: Journaling by hand can involve using fountain pens.

@benwerd I would say it is not unity that is a problem but uniformity. Unity allows for diversity and appreciation of differences while maintaining connection. Uniformity insists that we all must be the same and can’t appreciate diversity.
