Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

When birds sing, they feel safe. And when we listen to them, we feel safe too. A quiet but powerful echo between humans and nature. Perhaps their song reminds us that the world is just good enough to pause for a moment. And breathe.

Iโ€™m back in the North East this evening after spending three days working in London.
For any Americans reading this, I can confirm that I was mugged four times, attacked by a vicious gang of Corgis, murdered twice, and converted to Islam by the Mayor. If only I had a ๐Ÿ”ซ
