Breaking Through the Blues

In Part II of “An Open Letter to My Fellow Americans at the Dawn of a New Decade: An Appeal Against Partisanship in America and Against War with Iran in Asia,” we continue our meditation on life in the age of social media and social warfare, and we explore ways of breaking through the social media age blues and of waking up, tuning in, paying attention, experiencing joy each day and singing praise.
