In these dark times, we cannot discount any contribution.
Any voice of reason offering solutions for our suffering must be heard.
We are a world juxtaposed, and dying.
If you are a voice for life, speak!
Your position, gender, caste, or wealth bind you, then I absolve this imagined slight.
How shall we save our world? Tell us now.
We must be free to speak truth to power, and make a better place for those who come after us.
For current strife, I might say that I have called friends many Russians and Ukrainians. I realize that the harms done will outlive me in their vtriol, but I hope that worldly interests can find a way to settle peace.
