My highest hope is that we will all consistently touch the sweetness of experiencing our inherent vibrancy, beauty, power, humor, and joy no matter how many reasons we have to also grieve. Perhaps, the real work is finding our way home to ourselves and one another in direct reaction to all the reasons we are being told we can’t or shouldn’t.
