So this episode celebrates the strength of community and the hope for positive change. We have music from Pete Sutherland, Aaron Marcus, Bright Wings Chorus, and Tim Ball and Sophie Orzechowski. Julie reads a new poem by Susan Reid and a poem by Rumi, and Anna Patton reads a poem by Emily Dickinson. \u00a0Anyone is invited to share things with the podcast.
