Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

A friend emailed me yesterday about ways to connect with people who voted differently than we did and possibly meeting to go to the midwest to dialogue and hear what they have to say.   I smiled, because she's a great organizer and I've been wanting to DO SOMETHING.  I have a lot of relatives I could visit, and they could put me in touch with people in their churches and clubs.  We don't want to turn away, we want to understand better.  Taking an action feels better to me than moaning and groaning.  I LIKE people, and I get along with lots of different people, possibly due to moving around the country a lot, and also because my people come from the midwest and I love them.  So this idea is just the ticket for me.  I had an immediate surge of gratitude towards my friend.  I don't know what will develop, but it's a positive direction, and that's good enough for me.
