In our society where fear is part of a complete daily diet, where we shallowly use the Internet for Gotcha! games for celebrities with minor transgressions, I am deeply encouraged by the bright light of hope illuminated by teasers at the end of superhero movies.

Those teasers passionately unite nerds with civilians around the common discussion and connective illumination of “Who was that guy at the end?”

Evict despair from your heart, allow the openness of those discussions into your life, begin to embrace hope like distant relative…those teasers are a subtle reminder:
Craigslist isn’t the only strange place love can be found and enjoyed.
