McMusing: Can Bridges Ever Be Mended?

Part IV of a Four-Part Trauma-Informed Reflection on the Current Political Crisis.

I have chosen to publish this series without sending it out in an email because many of my readers are overwhelmed by the current political climate. I have no desire to cause additional harm in my attempt to prevent harm. Still, my voice may provide additional perspectives for those who choose to read. At the very least, no matter how the next week plays out, I will have clearly stated the reflections behind my positions that I will continue to voice going forward.
