My friend Cooper, who helped so many people in the days after Hurricane Katrina continues her deep, principled search for good. She’s posted a meditation on the resurrection of Another Mother for Peace and her hope that moms can make the difference in bringing us closer to an end to war.
Rather than comment here, I send you to my comment on her site. As usual she is insightful and hopeful — take a look and then move down to what I said there — which best sums up my less optimistic view. I do know that if Cooper has anything to do about it, my pessimism will be misplaced. If you haven’t been to her blog, go there even if this issue isn’t what speaks to you.
Cynthia, I am so glad to know you. You ARE optimistic, and inspiring, because you make change happen every day.
