Lynda, you and in my opinion Carl Peterson are the most eloquent, detailed and professional writers on the Patch. It takes great passion, great thought to put forward an opinion, a complete thought out opinion that takes the reader into their own mind to exam their own views. I have a little challenge for you. I know you see a divided country politically. How do you think America can come out of these times of hatred and prejudice........of course you don't have to take up this challenge, just wondering about your thoughts?????
Dear Mr. Kleiner

I see many things divided politically, spiritually, monetarily, geographically, organizationally and personally. I divided my surfing gear this morning into a grom, newbie pile for my lovely, up-for-a challenge friend, Patricia. The other pile is for me: barely agile, wannabe-young-again, more experienced, less-than-gonzo surfer chick, must-have items for a SWELL day. The road to Oceanside is divided, for good reason, as we each travel in different directions, to different destinations for a higher purpose. Whether we realize it or not, we help one another to achieve many purposes throughout our short life time.
It’s all GOOD, easy, breezy to stay on my side of the demarcated highway, allowing others to do the same, UNLESS I see that they need some fraction of my help, or they ask for a hand, advice, hugs, tissue, a kind word, voting, typing, water, encouragement, COOKIES, surfboard wax. You get the picture.

HOW, do I think America [the world, a nation, an individual] can come out of these times of hatred and prejudice? Mother Theresa addresses the basics on such things in which I try to abide.
She answered one of my favorite, BIG, global questions: “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.”
Most of us can start THERE. As for the remainder of the wayward, but redeemable peeps? I can’t address that, but I know who does.

Have a beautiful Sunday. Easy, breezy, Mr. Kleiner.
