Cross-generational relationships and conversations braid perspectives and grow knowledge, building stronger, more supportive, generative groups.

After a ponderously difficult day, I took a long walk on a damp night in and around Montréal’s Mount Royal and Côte des Neige and listened to this episode. I returned lifted up and much lighter. Jason Reynolds and Kelsey Janvier have an energy and breath that infuses us—as Rilke notes—to “just keep going.” And to keep going with agency, a pathway, and a goal… the elements of hope.

Thank you for this episode and all those that have had similar healing effects over the last two decades.

Profound thoughts from Jason and well conveyed. Kessley came across as a spoiled youngster when she complained that she will have responsibilities after graduation. Right there is the reason other generations believe the younger generation is self-absorbed. And then came the likes. "Well you know it's like this, like you know, I am like, like, like, like, like!" I know this sounds harsh, for me though, the complaining and the "poor" speech combined lessened the impact of her opinion, and thus, easily dismissed. Jason's thought were refreshing. With Kessley my mind went,"We are in peril with the next generation having the world in their hands!"

OMG, watching MSNBC is the problem. That is a huge part of the problem. Legacy media is extremely left. Taking in news should be balanced. For every leftist one listens to, equal time must be given to conservatives. A new world will open.

Even as a lifetime lib and Dem, I can no longer tolerate PBS, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC. I have chosen instead to think for myself.
