How was your weekend and how's your week going? We attended one of the many rallies held Saturday. For the most part it was peaceful. A couple of folks did show up with the intent to disrupt. One man who was there protesting the protest--which he has every right to do--was loud, obnoxious, and hateful. My immediate reaction is always, they aren't going to change my mind and no one is going to change theirs. I just ignored him and chanted louder. But a woman was there who went up to him and starting talking. Not in your face, just an exchange of ideas. And it worked. I was humbled by it. I'm not saying he suddenly went from red to blue anymore than she went from blue to red, but they had a civil discourse and exchanged ideas and hopefully each person saw a little bit of the other's point of view. AND
In spite of spring shilly-shallying, the garden and surroundings are making a determined effort to bloom.
