Great show. I hope to talk to all my friends about talking to any of their friends or family who live in MN and talk to my daughter and son-in-law who live there.

What a tremendous job you did, focusing on the humanity contained within our experience and in our stories. If more of us understood *today,* as Grant testified to, how we unintentionally learned that "such-and-so" isn't our issue, be it the freedom to marry or the right to vote, we would surely be horrified and humbled to learn how our own silence, blindness, ignorance, and inaction are reinforcing disconnection and separation from our brothers and sisters in the Spirit. If we truly are about building Gd's kin(g)dom and living into it Right Here Right Now, we must stay connected with one another, especially when we hear someone cry out, "This hurts me and my family." Keep up this important work: As I once heard from someone, the universe is not made of atoms. It is made of stories. Blessings, Liz Oppenheimer
