My wife and I live in New Mexico, USA. Married 41 years; two grown children in tech fields. I worked as a mechanical engineer until age 40. Then I chose to be re-educated as social worker, a field where I remained until I retired, Nov, 2007. Long time meditator and student of "A Course in Miracles." Interested in positive social change and individual transformation into loving beings. Some day, we'll all be "well" spiritually. In the meanwhile, let's be patient, persistent, caring, courageous, hopeful and global-centric (instead of being nationalistic or ethno-centric).
Regardless of our political or editorial opinions, we MUST cultivate the ability to listen to, and respect, one another, regardless of differences. No one has THE right perspective. And yet we are all One on the planet. That realization must trump all other perspectives as we strive to live our lives on the planet together in peace and justice.
