Former President Ronald Reagan was an infamous storyteller. Here’s a snippet of my favorite story from his second Presidential Inaugural Address: “Two of our Founding Fathers, a Boston lawyer named Adams and a Virginia planter named Jefferson, members of that remarkable group who met in Independence Hall and dared to think they could start the world over again, left us an important lesson. They had become political rivals in the Presidential election of 1800. Then years later, when both were retired, and age had softened their anger, they began to speak to each other again through letters. A bond was reestablished between those two who had helped create this government of ours.” Here’s the part of their friendship that literally makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Both men passed away on the same day and within hours of each other; ironically, on the Fourth of July of 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I like to think that this event is best described through Einstein’s words when he said: “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” To all my friends in the United States, may you enjoy a blessed Fourth. Peace. Love. Inspiration. Hermy x
