"We are all holding hands and climbing"

In difficult times, I hold warmly a collection of memories in my mind. This photo is from one of those warm, hazy loving times.. The events of the past year have really drawn a light to an obvious— the majority of these moments were born out of loving community and family— togetherness. I am reminded of the wonderful wisdom of poetry ancient, Hafez. May you enjoy this poem and it ignite the warmth of togetherness and love for you, too.

Out

Of a great need

We are all holding hands

And climbing.

Not loving is a letting go.

Listen,

The terrain around here

Is

Far too

Dangerous

For

That.

-Hafez
