What is it that makes us human?
What is it that made Homo Sapiens survive, perpetuate, evolve, and not other cousins we had 300,000 yrs ago?
My fav theory: it was the survival of the *friendliest*. Our empathy, our kindness, our sense of community. Perhaps, I'd dare say, even #gratitude. Gratitude is central to a sense of community.

Perhaps we'll emerge out of these covid-19 times with a slightly better attitude re: consumerism.

Politics is broken. Infrastructure is broken. Education is broken. Tax syst. is broken. Health care syst. is broken. Social media is broken. Etc. All in need of being re-created. Still waiting.
And, here’s the thing. CoSo is actually creating a new universe. From scratch. With skills, values, talent, energy, time, patience. Counter to what's broken. Inspiring daily.
Happy B’day CoSo !
Gratitude to @th3j35t3r
Cheers to all wonderful souls bringing in their humanity.
