I was momentarily speechless as she went on to wonder out loud how you would remove graffiti. Mer had just turned 9 years old. In a world often divided and polarized, Mer seems to have an appreciation of and a willingness to hold, the different perspectives and needs within the same situation.

My first response to Mer was, “You know, not many adults today could hold and express both of those viewpoints.”

Mer and many of the youth today give me hope for a brighter future for everyone and everything.
