Each of us can find a way forward by choosing, again and again, to be willing. Willing to look for the good contained in change. Willing to ask better questions. Willing to believe that a solution exists before we can see it. There is always a solution. If we begin every problem from that premise, we move into this new age differently — with steadiness, with grace, with our eyes open.
