"I Like Corn!"
A man and a woman meet working in a Manhattan farm to table restaurant. In the middle of Chelsea, they learn how intentional food can be and how every ingredient matters and makes a difference.

As we debate approaches to solving the complex challenges of homelessness in American cities, what is often missing from the conversation is empathy.

We catch feelings for people, get all up in our head, fantasize, and end up creating a cloud of bias over them. We always think "Oh! she/he's the one, they're the best person I've ever liked, if I don't date them I'm missing out on my future!" A bit exaggerated but you get the point.

And quite honestly, this may be the first time I’ve written anything in response to an event of this scale, or any national, worldwide event at all, really. There was an irritation within my being this morning. From the time I woke up to after I finished showering. And even now, as I’m sitting here, writing this piece.
