  • Go Where Everyone Is Welcome

    How do we choose our attitudes, political views, and convictions? I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately. It is not unusual these days to encounter people with beliefs that fly in the face of irrefutable facts, and veer sharply away from the magnetic north of any rational moral compass. It stuns me that so…

  • A Much-Needed Change of Scenery

    Many of us are relegated to one view right now.

  • The Best of The View from a Drawbridge

    I cannot believe it, but today is the one year anniversary of my blog! What a ride this has been. I’ve managed to post an entry every single day for an entire year. I would have never guessed I’d have this much to talk about. By writing this much I’ve learned a great deal as…
