My first word had a hollow in the middle,a breath to blow a wish from a candle. I backed away from the wall of a canvasto see the dry leaves falling into focus. I read once there is an angel of historywho faces us with wings of fire, her bodyblown backward through epistemes to comein ever deeper exile from her home. Dear Reader, she writes, when you read this,swallow it, drink. Think of it as musicthat is, like history, made of lost time,time recalled, and a resonating chamber.

Scorecards are typically a tool for measuring progress toward a particular goal. At Common Ground Committee (CGC), the goal is to reduce polarization. One of the ways to do that is to help increase the frequency of bipartisanship exhibited within our political leadership. Doing so creates overall favorable outcomes for our country and democracy. We need to calm the waters if we are going to move forward to address the serious problems facing our nation.
