Hope and Healing
By Steve Bennett | November 7, 2020
For me, this image of a Peace Lily captures the spirit of the moment now that the election has been called. The flower is associated with reconciliation, hope, and healing. The hard work now begins, but I am more hopeful than ever that our leadership is up to the task of navigating through the challenges ahead.
