We are all called to different paths, each vital in its own way. Some of us find purpose in writing, gardening, or helping others through difficult times. Whether we nurture children, support friends, or simply feed the birds, each act matters. Raising children has been one way we’ve expressed our love for life, deepening our joy and our grief. Yet, it has also expanded our hope and belief in what is possible. In community, we find strength. In imagination, we find possibility. Let's not shy away from death but choose to live fully in its presence. Trust in our path, support each other, and embrace the journey with an undeniable "Yes!" We are fortunate to be here, living this moment.
May we choose life fully, trust in our path,
and embrace the journey with unwavering hope and gratitude.
