Celebrating the Commonality of Humankind

Today is the 75th anniversary of the discovery of the caves in Lascaux, France, whose art, drawn by our short, hairy ancestors, dates back approximately 17,000 years.  According to popular art historian Sister Wendy, this is the proof that these primitive people were “like us in all the ways that really matter.”  This commonality of being human is something to think about when we behold the challenges that mankind faces today, whether they’re manifesting themselves in Syria or in Ferguson, Missouri.
