Ray of hope – one of my old shipmates sent me this emotion-evoking photo. In the words of his email: I seldom pass along inspirational stuff, but this one got to me. I believe, in these difficult and mean-spirited times in which we live, there needs to be a message of hope. We can all use a single image that speaks to us of love, harmony, peace, and joy. An image that suggests the universality of us all. I have been sent that image, and I want to share it with you all. All I ask that all of you take a moment to reflect on it.
