I have never been so impressed with the ability of people to struggle, reflect, and grow. How very noble and wonderfully human we are to wrestle with the prejudices and anger, the ego, the selfishness and sorrows that make up so much of this world. How marvelous that we can stand unembarrassed by our failings and strive to become better. How beautiful is it that our nature allows us to forgive, to love, to seek justice, and to be kind.

I want, at this moment, to recognize the many people in my life who are struggling, who are learning, who are really laboring to free their higher selves from the mire of complicated and difficult histories. You are amazing.

P.S. Navead and I have, in fact, put in new track lighting, done some Ruhi, gone dancing, and won a jade plant. Hurray for our triumphant return home.
