I’m not one who readily communicates with those who write essays in our excellent Durango newspaper, but I am compelled to thank you for yours in today’s weekend edition (Herald, Oct. 14-15).
Not only is it exceptionally well written, its message is an important wake-up call for our country.
In one of Mary Oliver’s poems, there is a line: “To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”
I think your readers will be moved to do just that. I am.
