Last week, I wrote about our country coming home to itself. This week, I want to try and step away from the breaking news cycle for a moment and write about something just as urgent: coming home to ourselves.

Right now, the world feels really loud, noisy, and unpredictable. The Olympics began in Italy on Friday. The Super Bowl is today and will draw many of us together to watch. You can feel the excitement and energy in the air, but you can also feel what comes along with big events like these. Streets close down. Helicopters fly overhead. Barriers get built. And police officers assemble across neighborhoods to prepare for crowds and safety.
