Our hope is that they will remind us of what we CAN do in this new territory, like stand together on integrity – the truth of being that guides our wills, our words, and our works.
We can stand on grace – the daily giving and forgiving of ourselves and others that is the core of our humanity; and on joy – the light that in dark times helps us appreciate the precious “now” and that steadies our steps toward tomorrow.
We can stand on creativity and growth – knowing that each of us has the capacity to bring beauty and meaning into the world, or perhaps just make things a bit better.
And we can continue to stand on reverence for life.
