E Pluribus Unum

 


Recently and with great interest (and a bit of concern), I’ve carefully observing the political dramas saturating the news.  Sometimes these reports have causes me some anxiety and even indigestion! 

I really don’t want to get political here, but in our country, and looking ahead to 2024, I do pray for less polarization, more mutual respect, less rancor, more civility, less impertinence, more statesmanship, less bitterness, more magnanimity, and above all less division, and more unity!   

Is this a pipe dream?

The official motto of our great county, the United States of America, is “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of the Many, One!”). 

Let’s hope, as we look to the future, both the donkey and the elephant, with all their now well-known penchants for bravado and enmity against those with whom they disagree, can strive to model more polite and courteous manners of civility in their common quest to “Pursue A More Perfect Union.”  

**I have to be honest: I’m a bit skeptical about this, but will continue to “live in hope!
