What if we stepped away from the “teams” they’ve steered us to be on.
The ones with labels such as . .
Liberal.
Conservative.
Democrat.
Republican.
Upper Middle Class.
Elite.
Downtown.
Uptown.
Rural.
City.
This or that.

What if we found a way to love our neighbors, love our families and even love ourselves well. Imagine if the teams, all of them, were artificially created. This is where I would throw in a few paragraphs about the hive mind or the pheromone trails of the ant computer.
But in an effort to keep this simple, what if we could –
Smile at our neighbors, say hi . . and even make some solid eye contact. In a world where “inclusivity” is the new buzz word, are we trying to mold to their definition of inclusivity or could we just continue to be kind.
Imagine a world where we welcome others and focus on the good we have in common. I am not saying that its always easy as the steering is so intense, it is hard to untangle from it some days. But anything is possible the more aware we become.
