There is no more powerful message than Bill Janz's affirmation of goodness | Letters

Letters to the Editor

Bill Janz's article on the limitations of his stroke revealed yet again a spirit that truly "embraces goodness" (“The upside of a stroke: Not being able to read about hatred,” May 12).

Amid all of his personal suffering and the evil in the world, he affirms that goodness is around us and in us if we choose to find it and nourish it. There is no more powerful message for our world today.
