“Our attention is held by the troubles in the world: an impossibly long war in Ukraine, a humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and a collapse into violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I am not saying we look away from these horrible situations, but we need to look toward an answer to the suffering.”

In her latest column, Cathy Hird reflects on a story about snakes and how shifting our focus can help find positive ways forward.
