Urban areas present daunting challenges.
Deep, sometimes frightening "holes" open up before us, with no apparent way to get across or over.
People everywhere.
It is easy to see people as the problem.
In reality, among the poor and the distressed, people provide hope and potential solutions.
The real challenge is getting people together to decide that hope is something we create in concert with one another, no matter how deep the holes or how daunting the fears.
We are in this together.
It is in this realization and commitment that we find our way across, and sometimes down to reclaim another friend.
