I know I can’t make time slow down, can’t hold our life as it is in a freeze frame or slow my children’s inexorable journeys into adulthood and lives of their own. But I can celebrate those journeys by bearing witness to them, by paying attention, and, perhaps most of all, by carrying on with my own growth and becoming. Now it dawns on me that the only way I can figure out what I’m meant to be doing is to try to understand who I’m meant to be... I will not waste this life, not one hour, not one minute. I will not take for granted the blessing of our being here... I will give thanks Picture Quote #1

Individuals bearing witness cannot do the work of social movements, but they can break a corrosive and demoralizing silence Picture Quote #1
