In the film “Love Actually,” the narrator looks at the scene in an airport arrivals gate – the hugs and the tears and the laughter – and feels hope for humanity. “General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that,” the narrator says. “It seems to me that love is everywhere.”

I think of that as I read Ali Martin’s story today about Californians’ response to the Los Angeles fires. News must meet hatred and greed head-on. But there are other stories to tell, depending on where we look – and not just during crises. Today, you can read about Megan Walsh and others determined to help, and feel a bit more conviction that love is indeed everywhere.
