Picking Blackberries at Dusk

We left our blackberry picking too late in the day and dusk was already starting to fall. We went out anyway, but it made it hard to see the blackberries in that low light amid the shadows.

It made me think that politics can be a bit like that. It's hard to see the real heart of the issues when they are obscured by the foliage of controversy and the shadows of misinformation. Sometimes you just need to bring a big flashlight to shine a light on them so you can see the whole thing clearly.
