Similarities Not Differences

In an ever shrinking globe with a multitude of interconnected means to communicate and share in a common humanity, I've never felt farther apart from people. Maybe, it's the pandemic. I miss hugs and I'm not a really big hugger. It's the embrace of family and friends that wraps a little love from their surrounding arms into our bodies. You know, I fly an American flag from the front of my house in recognition that I was fortunate to be born into a place where anything is still possible. It's not a sign of political affiliation it's a sign of my similarities with fellow Americans. One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. It's as if we have forgotten what we are saying when we say it.
