We arrived at the dawn of 2024 with the world in a parlous state. War, lies, autocrats; they’re all connected.
I wish the solution was as simple as turning the page to a new year.
As I watched the New Year’s Eve fireworks over Boston Common and then over Boston Harbor I thought of Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem”:
“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
Let us try.
