I'm old enough to remember Chernobyl and thinking then of how those in charge - not just in the former Soviet Union, but our own government and others, as well - have it in their power to put all life at risk. Growing up during the Cold War, I remember the bomb shelter my parents had built. As a child, I thought 'the world is not a safe place and grown-ups are crazy'. I've seen little in my life to prove otherwise, but have somehow found the faith to keep on loving the world and my brothers and sisters , as well as the hope that the 'grown-ups' will have the sense not to destroy us. But, today is all we have and this moment is all we can count on. Thank you, for this and other wonderfully thoughtful video essays.
