The Soul of the Nation
With the turn of a
calendar page, it is March.
New beginnings. New
hopes. Listening to
Joe Biden last night, filled me
with optimism —
with the feeling that
all is not lost. Words matter.
People matter. The
tapestry that is
the United States matters.
The Constitution
matters. Joe Biden
is an older white man. By
description, that’s not
what I hoped our next
leader would be. However,
there is so much more
to Joe. He is a
uniter, a listener
and has a moral
compass. Working with
world leaders is a key strength.
Oh, do we need that!!

Climate change? He knows it’s real.

will restore it. What

has become throughout
