<strong> This moon rising is a reminder of all the promise of a “new” year</strong>, with lots of hope and optimism. There’s a<strong> new month, new year, and new President coming...vaccine is on the horizon. And yet, what really changes</strong> when the hands of the clock roll one second past midnight. All those issues will not suddenly disappear. <sThere’s no guarantees of any suffering will end, any crisis resolved.</strong> Issues such as climate change, racism, economic disparity, health care, education and shrinking natural resources won’t be resolved over night. Our national divide is deep...and yet<strong> I can hope that realizing miracles still happen, and wondrous things are still possible, that we don’t lose our ability to dream.</strong>
