A baseball has 108 stitches. In order for a baseball to fulfill it’s purpose, it needs to be thrown, be hit, be caught, and be thrown again. In a cycle that repeats, this is the game a baseball was designed to play.

Listen: lean into the next opportunity to hear the unheard. While we try connecting meaningfully, what goes unsaid is sometimes the most important thing to support change.
Observe: see the unseen. Pause for an extra moment to reflect on what is right there, in hiding. Change continues when we have a picture of success.
Vote, don't veto. Choose what you want, don't focus on what you don't want. Each of us can use our voice to describe the change we want.
Ease the way for the next generation, literally and figuratively. It need not be for them, as it was for us. New information should equal new decisions.
