without security or price, and just meet why meet and talk about what is on their mind and it was an amazing way to get to know virginians but also the natural beauty of virginia and a much deeper way. i think i also needed it. these were chaotic times and they are polarizing times. it was good to be reminded that while we may be polarized in politics, there are some areas where we are not polarized and respect and love for natural beauty is an area where democratic were politically non- political. we share that. in virginia and across the country. it was helpful to recall that you can sugarcoat the areas where we all polarized you have to broaden your aperture and realize there is a lot of life where we are and against one another but we can appreciate things together. >> okay. it's a great read. i'm enjoying it. my only advice is where your sunscreen when you're paddling in the canoe, okay? that one picture i'm like, yikes, that hurt.
