Here’s a picture from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s recent trip to the White House. I realize I’m kicking a hornets’ nest by posting this given how politically polarized a country we’ve become. Still, I think there’s something encouraging about two of the world’s most powerful leaders meeting in a kitchen garden under a sunny sky. One possible take-away is that we – Germans and Americans, Conservatives and Liberals, etc – have more things linking us than we have separating us. We can choose to focus on the former or the latter with two very different outcomes. I know which one I choose!
