Life Cycle
Flowers are in bloom and the leaves have woken up in chartreuse as nature ushers in a new season. While many of us prepare to celebrate this weekend, in honor of the mothers and caretakers who brought us here and nurtured us to maturity, we are also mindful of the weight of grief and mourning for lives lost to a virus that has knocked us off our feet, and out of our previous reality. Life and death, like happiness and sorrow, are bound as one — and in this knowledge we can find peace, even joy. Comfort and balance lie in collective compassion, connection, gratitude, and in the enduring, unsinkable power of love. We’re thankful for all of it(and especially for you, mom).
