Conversations

 These days we build our picture of the world on sound bites. We talk at one another and over one another, but not to one another. We hear but don’t listen. So I’d like to sit in on a conversation between:


God and evolution

Benjamin Franklin and Ted Cruz

MLK, Jr. and the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan

Ghandi and his assassin

Putin and Rasputin

Prince Harry and Alexi Navalny

Melania Trump and Michelle Obama

Cecily Tyson and Regina King

Martin Scorsese and Jesus

Mother Teresa and LeBron James

An injured combat vet and his daughter

Galileo and Stephen Hawking

Harriet Tubman and Abraham Lincoln

Vanessa Redgrave and Meryl Streep

Wendell Berry and Mitch McConnell

William Kentridge and Nelson Mandela
