about

Here we are, two weeks further into this process, a process that few, if any of us, can define, a collective transformation. Sometimes I feel a certain fatigue in all of this and maybe you do, too. I remind myself that all I can do, really, is express - through how I live, what I do, what I say and my own being- the values that I want to see in the world.

In that spirit, I offer you a little bit of humor and sweetness in the form of a Czech folk tale called "Clever Manka."

I initially turned to this story because part of my family heritage is Czech. (My last name is Svehla).

I return it for the gentle reminder of the goodwill that endures the centuries.

"Peace begins with a smile." Mother Teresa
