As we continue to navigate through this global crisis, remember that many communities all over the world are living through it alongside you, and keep them in your thoughts.
Please especially keep the people on the front lines – the EMTs, physician assistants, nurses, doctors, long-term care givers, firemen, police, and medical researchers – in your thoughts.
These are uniquely complex times, and I hope that you find peace and wisdom amidst them.
Remember kindness and compassion first always, and that the power of empathy and hope knows no bounds.

"If you look at the world as one long brutal game between us and them, then you bump into another mystery. And that's the mystery of the tree-shaped scar. There seems to be such a thing as grace, such a thing as beauty, such a thing as harmony. All of which are wholly free and available to us."
Toni Morrison from May 30, 1975 speech at Portland University |
