One friend asked my wife if this experience was going to make me a Republican. While I am not changing political parties, I will be a more critical, better informed liberal.
Another friend asked me if the process was healing. Not healing but transforming. The project exercised my mind and spirit much in the way daily physical exercise increases stamina and capacity for effort.
Encountering the other rather than avoiding, and trying to understand rather than judge strengthened my resolve to seek beauty, delight and kindness each and every day, year by year, thought by thought.
