Please be kind, calm, and patient with others!

I feel like someone put life into hyper gear this year. Normally life is always busy for me, and I never have a shortage of things to do, but this year has been different, to say the least. 

Sometimes I find myself overreacting to others, especially when it comes to polarizing subjects, which there seems to be no shortage of right now. I have to remind myself we all look at the world from a different set of lenses with our own life experiences that make us unique. 

I took this photo a few weeks ago on an evening bike ride. These rides help pull me away from the crazy days and reflect on everything going on in the world and my interactions with others. I apologize if I have been quick to counter your take on current events.

Mike, I struggle to be kind and patient when confronted by people whose values and morals I don't understand. The struggle seems to be our inability to find "common ground". Yes, I can agree to disagree on certain issues. I don't want that to mean I can't talk with people I don't agree with. I want to be able to interact with people who are different from me. I love civil discourse. So I search for things we both value, things we can agree on. Perhaps we can find things to agree on in the beauty and serenity of landscape in your photo. Thank you for the inspiration.
