This first weekend after a “highly divisive” Election, let’s look for the small blessings<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
that are all around us, and remember that many more values and <\/FONT>goals unite Americans<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
than divide us.  (Our means may differ, for example, but who doesn’t believe that protecting<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
lives <\/FONT>and families is a core value?)  Mediators know that people of good will can — eventually <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
— forge common <\/FONT>solutions from common goals.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
