The deer and bobcat in this photo came together after a forest fire drove them from their home. It reminds me of the way humans come together during times of crisis and hardship. As a crisis responder, I've seen stranger couplings embraced in a hug, holding hands, crying together. But when life goes back to normal, we are often apathetic at best, critical and oppressive at worst.
What could we accomplish if we maintained the collective resilience we find during times of crisis? If we provided comfort and warmth to our enemies, how long would they remain such?
