A lyric from the iconic Talking Heads tune “Once in a Lifetime” has been bouncing around my head this week. The one that asks: “Where does that highway go to?” In a growing number conversations I’ve had recently, people have expressed the concern that our individual and collective conversations are leading us nowhere, or worse. That absent some calamitous event, our current social, political and economic (to name a few) divides cannot and will not be resolved.
I love the way you weave these threads together. The road ahead may twist and turn or even divide in ways we do not like and cannot control, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't steer as best we can or take our foot off the gas pedal. Roll down the window and enjoy the air rushing by. Same as it ever was.

Why does it seem so hard to just back away from the abyss? Just to say no to the precipice. We can all agree that no one wants to leap off--can't we?
