Middle Eastern Missile Crisis
the tension in the air recently reminds me of what i've read and heard about the Cuban Missile Crisis--that we're so close to a cataclysmic event, but we probably won't reach it, if we play our cards right.
We Are Human
it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.
