Wow, this is SO needed across the world now.

What wisdom~~to focus on finding common ground rather than the differences. I so appreciate what she is doing and hope that the idea spreads. It could be so healing.

What wonderful work you are leading. I find it very heartening. Keep it up. It gives me hope for the future.

Civil discourse is sorely lacking today. This demonstrates perfectly the antidote to polarizing opinions. It's an American tenet to be able to hold your viewpoint and allow others to hold theirs while giving and receiving respect. Dialogue between us is needed for transcending labels, pigeonholes, and stereotypes. I love this conversation.

Wow, if only huh?! I find myself smack in the middle here. I get both of them well because I see some of me in both of them. And it is the good I see that wants good for others too. Yes, we have different notions about how that good can come about, but when we listen with humility and compassion we find the common ground from which our shared dreams can grow. We plant together, we farm that plant together, and we trust there will be a bountiful harvest for all as we surrender to the process. Lord have mercy, can we do this?! The politicians and corporations will not like what we are about together, but they will have to change, to adapt to our way if they hope to survive. Onward good people, onward together. No more red or blue, only abundant beautiful purple. }:- a.m.

We so need to have these conversations. We will never arrive at cooperation (essential now for our very survival on so many fronts) until we can talk to one another, listen to one another and begin to seriously look for our common interests. It has to be done with civility.

I would love this to me seen nationally. Noticed for the first time in a few weeks that I took a responsive deep breath! Namaste

Thank you, Joan and Mark, for giving me hope!

First of all, this post election time has deeply perplexed me because the vote is so close. And I’ve been feeling sad because I think the “red” voters are not seeing the real picture. And then I thought maybe their desire for re-electing Trump is as strong and important to them as I’d my own view for Biden. That means I should relax, right? But how can they hold the views they do? More importantly, I just don’t even begin to under their perspective. How do we connect as a country again? This clip was VERY calming and helpful. Thank you.

Inspiring proof of the goodness of people, period, once we move beyond being danced around the stage by puppet-strings held by so-called leaders. Think for yourself? Oh my, no that sounds too scary... Thank you Joan and Steve for reminding us that the only ones who need fear a conversation between folks of different views are the ones presently holding the puppet strings.
